Inter Miami have made impressive acquisitions this transfer window with the capture of the world’s best Lionel Messi and legendary midfielder Sergio Busquets. The ex-Barcelona players will be reunited in the Magic City and look to light the MLS on fire. Jordi Alba was also linked to the club, as he continues to explore his options with interest from Italy, Spain and Saudi Arabia.
David Beckham co-owned soccer club always portrayed its ambition to snap the best players from the world and bring them to the MLS. Inter Miami can now, state a claim at challenging for trophies with significant improvements to its squad’s qualities. Gerard “Tata” Martino recently took over the reins at the club, having managed Busquets and Messi at Camp Nou.
Along with Inter Miami, the MLS in general will highly benefit from the increased viewership when world superstars like Messi will play in the league. MLS Commissioner, Donn Garber quoted: “Here we are today with a player that I think without a doubt is not only a generational player, but in my opinion, the greatest of all time,” when inquired about Leo’s move to the USA.
MLS Twitter handle makes hilarious identity error
Major League Soccer’s Twitter handle posted a tweet to welcome Sergio Busquets to the league. Things actually did not go according to plan, however, as the admin made a glaring error in the superstar’s introductory post. The admin wanted to post a picture of Busquets lifting the FIFA World Cup, after his triumph with Spain in the 2010 World Cup. Instead, the admin posted the picture of ex-Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa with the world cup trophy.

The admin was quickly informed about his egregious mistake by the soccer community on the social media platform. The mistake was remedied by reposting a picture of the Spanish defensive midfielder, with an awkward caption. The admin captioned, “why do Arbeloa and Busquets look so similar in these. Admin needs new glasses.”
The Twitter community were hilarious in their reactions to the tweet, with some alleging poor ball knowledge on the end of the account handler. Some users were also appreciating the way the admin handled the whole situation.
