You can call Rodrigo De Paul "El Motorcito." Or, perhaps Lionel Messi's "bodyguard." Either way, you can call him Inter Miami's newest player. The 31-year-old star is officially Messi's club teammate after Inter Miami announced De Paul's arrival on Friday.

The 31-year-old Argentinian international will also not take away a designated roster slot in the Herons' first team while on loan with the club.

An Inter Miami team missing the suspended Lionel Messi missed the chance to gain ground on Eastern Conference leaders FC Cincinnati after being held to a 0-0 draw in Major League Soccer (MLS) on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping its All-Star Game, the league announced Friday.

“Yeah, we should have known earlier. We should have addressed it earlier. No doubt about that,” he said during a press conference prior to the game.

The MLS All-Stars vs Liga All-Stars turned out to be a frustrating affair with multiple top stars failing to show up for the game.
