Messi: New foreign players making MLS 'stronger'
Briefly

Lionel Messi praised the rising competitiveness of Major League Soccer (MLS), attributing it to the influx of young foreign talent. In an interview, he noted that the league is becoming more physical, with teams registering intense matches, particularly in the closing minutes. Inter Miami's roster enhancements with notable signings, including those from South America, reflect this trend. However, Messi expressed concerns about roster restrictions limiting the league's growth potential, suggesting that looser regulations could further enhance the MLS's development.
Messi commented on the rise of MLS, stating, 'It's a very physical league, with many young players that are addressing weaknesses with physical attributes.'
'This season, the teams got stronger adding many foreign players,' Messi observed, highlighting the increase in competition and quality across the league.
