MLS might not be on the level of Europe's top leagues, but global superstar Lionel Messi said he thinks it isn't far behind.
"It's time for the league to make that leap and finish growing, finish looking for what it's been seeking for a while. Everything is in place here to witness top-level football because of the country, the structure, a bunch of things." "This Leagues Cup demonstrated that. There is no Mexican team in the final. While you can question a lot of things, the reality is all the matches were very close, very competitive. Anybody can beat anyone else. I get the sense that the same happens in [MLS]. It's a competitive one where anybody can win. One where the home team is strong, and it's difficult to win away. I'll still be getting to know a little bit of that after my first match.
"The team has grown greatly, especially since [coach Gerardo Martino's] arrival, and we're happy to have met our first goal, which is CONCACAF Champions Cup qualifying. Now, we can play a final." "I can say I'm very happy, not just because of the results on the pitch but because of my family, how we go about our everyday life. We are enjoying the city and the welcome from fans, which has been extraordinary since the first day. Not just in Miami but the U.S. in general. We got to go to Dallas as a visiting team, and the treatment toward me was spectacular. So, I'm grateful for this moment.
