Messi has so far scored five goals in three matches for Inter Miami.

“I was not surprised [by Messi’s brilliant performances for Inter Miami]. The problem is that maybe this league is surprised,” Chiellini said (via AS USA).

“I think they [MLS teams] have to do something better to try to contain Messi.”

The Italian added, “If you think that Messi is a normal player, it is a huge mistake. It means you have not seen him for the last 15 years.

“If Sergio [Busquets] has the ball and you don’t mark Messi … maybe you don’t have a TV at home. I expect a little bit more pressure from the other teams.”
