Soccer seems to be complete for Lionel Messi. The Argentine has almost won everything a player can achieve. In fact, the striker has outclassed and overachieved in the majority of aspects. Be it winning the Ballon d’Or seven times or winning the European Golden Boot six times, he has outshone everyone in soccer.

He has achieved significant success both at the domestic and international levels. Talking about his club career, after spending more than a decade in Europe, Messi made a switch to the MLS. He even addressed his decision, but that seems to have turned the tables against him, as soccer fans in America are blasting him for his recent remarks.

Recently, Messi spoke about his decision to leave Europe for America. While talking about his career, he said, “I have achieved everything in football. There is nothing left.” La Pulga suggests that despite making a move to a different league, he reckons to have won everything. His remarks have ignited an uproar among American fans, who are feeling embarrassed. They claim his mindset following his transfer to Inter Miami is wrong. They feel he doesn’t care about winning anything in the MLS. Netizens on Twitter are lambasting the attacker.

Some fans believe the attacker still has a lot to achieve.

Indeed, his remarks have left a hole in the hearts of American fans. Perhaps during his unveiling at David Beckham’s club, he will have some promising words to say. After all, fans have high expectations of him, as they look to win silverware. Nonetheless, let’s crack down on his move to the Miami-based club.

It was the least expected of the transfers that many claimed to happen, but it eventually did. Messi chose to move to the MLS. The 35-year-old rejected a billion-dollar offer from Saudi Arabia and a fairytale return to his former side, FC Barcelona. But it seems the Argentinian skipper has already made up his mind.

Nevertheless, now Messi has a chance to once again take over a new league. The MLS offers a lot of opportunities for him. Aside from making a name in the foreign league, he also has a chance to expand his trophy cabinet. Inter Miami has a chance to make the best use of him and rally for silverware. It remains to be seen how they will try to put their best man in charge.
