SportsLine's Jon Eimer reveals his picks for FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami at Chase Stadium on Saturday with Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba out due to suspension

In a matchup between two elite clubs across conferences, San Diego FC outlasted Nashville SC, while in a contest between two of the best in the East, Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati shared the spoils in a scoreless draw. Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, meanwhile, were both suspended for the match due to their unexcused absence at the MLS All-Star Game.

With MLS' roster rules severely limiting Inter Miami's spending, how have the Herons managed to sign another high-impact -- and high-earning -- friend of Lionel Messi's?

After securing the blockbuster transfer of Rodrigo De Paul, Lionel Messi has received a new squad boost with a new Inter Miami signing.

The Messi cam is "pushing the boundaries of how fans experience the game," said MLS Executive Vice President of Media Seth Bacon. Bacon added, "With this collaboration, we're bringing fans even closer to one of the greatest players of all time- in a way that's dynamic, immersive, and made for the next generation of fans.
