Lionel Messi`s performance faltered in Inter Miami`s 2-2 draw against Orlando City, ending their unbeaten preseason.

Lionel Messi participated in a friendly match between Inter Miami and Orlando City at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, which concluded in a 2-2 draw. This result marked the end of Inter Miami`s perfect preseason run, as they remained unbeaten with four wins—two via penalty shootouts—and one draw.

Messi, who had recently attended the Super Bowl, started the match but did not contribute any goals, continuing a trend where he scored in only two of the four preseason games he played. Inter Miami`s goals came from Tadeo Allende, assisted by Luis Suárez, and Fafà Picault. Orlando City responded with goals from Martín Ojeda and Ramiro Enrique.

Despite the presence of high-profile players like Messi and Suárez, neither made a significant impact during the match. Inter Miami is set to kick off its competitive season on February 19 against Sporting Kansas City in the Concacaf Champions Cup, followed by their MLS opener against New York City FC on February 22.
