Tuesday night marks a historic moment for Philadelphia soccer fans as they get a chance to witness one of the greatest players in the world, Lionel Messi, in action for the first time. Messi and his team, Inter Miami CF, have been on a winning streak in the Leagues Cup, securing a place in the semifinals by defeating Charlotte FC 4-0.

On the other hand, the Philadelphia Union faced a tight match against Queretaro in the Quarterfinals, narrowly winning with a 2-1 score. Now, they are set to host Messi and his teammates at Subaru Park in Chester.

Joel Embiid, center for the Philadelphia 76ers and a known soccer enthusiast, has encouraged fans to show love to Messi during the match. However, he makes it clear that his allegiance lies with the home team.

Inter Miami has been enjoying success in the Leagues Cup, with Messi leading the tournament in scoring with eight goals. Despite being the underdog in the Eastern Conference standings, Inter Miami is favored to win against the Union.

For the Union players, the opportunity to face Messi on the pitch is a dream come true. Joaquin Torres, an Argentine midfielder for the Union, expressed his excitement about sharing the field with his idol.

The question now is, will Messi's debut in Philadelphia be a nightmare for Inter Miami, or will the Union find a way to stop the soccer legend from leading his team to victory?
