Martino: I was cautious about Messi's return after his injury, and he has now recovered to his ideal state

In an MLS match, Inter Miami defeated the New England Revolution 6-2, successfully clinching the regular season title. After the match, Inter Miami head coach Martino spoke to the media.

Martino stated that they are working hard to restore Messi to his best form, especially during crucial moments: "After he got injured in the Copa América, we had to be very careful in using him to ensure he could return to the team. So, both with the Argentine national team and here, we've been very cautious about this issue."

"In the game against Columbus, especially in the second half, Messi was very involved in the match. In the last match against Bolivia, we also saw him more relaxed, with better rhythm and performing excellently. Tonight, his first touch was a pass to Alba, which led to a goal. I feel that he has reached an ideal state at the most important stage of our year."
