Lionel Messi is expected to play Friday, July 21, when Inter Miami takes on Cruz Azul in a Leagues Cup match. The game will live stream on fuboTV (free trial) and Apple TV+ (free trial).

It’s unclear how much Messi, a World Cup champion for Argentina and someone who Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham calls the best player ever, will be on the field in his debut. He signed a 2-1/2 year contract with Inter Miami this past weekend, and the deal will pay him between $50 million and $60 million annually. That will almost certainly work out to more than $1 million per match.
