Lionel Messi's first season at Inter Miami ended on a positive note, to say the least. The Argentine superstar stepped first time out of Europe and it is fair to say the fans in the US welcomed him with open arms.

His move to MLS certainly caused a great buzz with fans all around the country getting crazy to get a glimpse of the former Barcelona and PSG man.

However, Messi delivered well on the pitch as well. A team that hardly gathered any points or trophies since its inception, was finally able to claim silverware with Messi guiding the side to a League Cup victory being the best player in the tournament. Although, their run in MLS was pretty average.

Messi however has promised his fans more silverware in the upcoming season and as a result, his preparation in the pre-season is crucial. Messi is currently enjoying a vacation following the end of the MLS season. However, he is expected to regroup in the second group in January.

Inter Maimi ahead of the MLS season will feature in five pre-season games. Messi is expected to don the Heron's jersey again on the 19th of January when they will go to El Salvador to play against the national.

The next two games will see them visit Saudi Arabia where they will face the biggest test. Messi will be up against arch-rivals Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr on 29th January and in the same venue in Riyadh, he will next face Neymar's Al-Hilal.

The next two games will see Messi visit the Hong Kong national team on 4th February and his pre-season will end on his home soil following his visit to his childhood club, Newell's Old Boys, at the DRV PNK stadium.
