Bale speaks on MLS

Buttressing Veron's claims, Gareth Bale, who called time on his career at 33, suggested that there is less pressure in the MLS due to the teams being more accepting of losses, Sports Brief reported.

Bale's comments come in response to Messi's move to the United States after the latter concluded his two-year stint with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Welsh international reflected on the contrasting dynamics between European and American soccer leagues, highlighting the MLS as a destination where players may experience a less demanding environment.

Messi's anticipated Inter Miami debut

Sports Brief also reported that Lionel Messi could play his first game for his new team Inter Miami on July 21.

The 2022 World Cup winner, who turned 36 on June 24, is expected to make his first appearance at DRV PNK Stadium in the League Cup match against Liga MX side Cruz Azul.

DRV PNK Stadium has a capacity of only 18,000, and demand to watch Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain in action in the flesh will far outstrip supply.
