It was an amazing afternoon for Inter Miami season ticket holders as they had the chance to watch a full open training session of Tata Martinoâs side. Everyone participated, from Luis SuĂĄrez to Lionel Messi.
A bit of good news for the team was the emergence of Federico Redondo training with the full team again after the horrible news that defender NicolĂĄs Freire tore his ACL over the weekend and will miss the remainder of the MLS season.
Aside from watching their favorite players, the Inter Miami team signed autographs and gave away balls to the fans in the stands. Even Messiâs 8th Ballon dâOr was available for photography.
