Orlando City SC, affectionately known as the Lions, has achieved yet another significant milestone on their journey to success.

The Orlando City Lions will finally get to pit their skills against Inter Miami’s forward Lionel Messi in a few weeks on September 24.

However, it’s worth noting that none of those victories were achieved when facing Messi.
“We will be ready.” Lions coach Oscar Pareja remarked when discussing the prospect of going up against Messi. “We know who we are, we going to go get that victory because our heart is prepared to do it.”
