Sergio Reguilon is experiencing special days since his arrival in MLS. The Spanish left-back, Inter Miami's newest signing, said this Saturday that sharing a locker room and training sessions with Lionel Messi represents one of the most significant moments of his professional career, while also highlighting the warm welcome he has received at the club managed by Javier Mascherano.

In his first appearance before the media, prior to his inaugural training session with the team, Reguilon didn't hide his enthusiasm for the challenge he faces in the United States. "It's a dream to be here, to be able to share moments on the field with Leo, watching him warm up, it's amazing for any footballer," said the Madrid-born defender, visibly excited about the experience that is beginning in South Florida. The former Real Madrid player acknowledged that the presence of historic FC Barcelona figures like Messi, Luis Suarez, and Mascherano himself adds a special element to his arrival, although he stressed that past rivalries have not weighed on the locker room at all. “Much better than I expected. Everything that happens on the field stays on the field. The welcome has been spectacular, beyond my wildest dreams,” he said. Reguilon highlighted the team atmosphere and the feeling of being part of a project that combines sporting ambition with internationally renowned names. For the full-back, the challenge is not limited to adapting to a new league, but also to meeting the expectations generated by his signing with a team accustomed to competing in the spotlight. The challenge of occupying a key role in the team: Reguilon's arrival in Miami comes in a particular context. The Spaniard takes on the challenge of covering the left flank after the departure of Jordi Alba, one of the project's most emblematic players and a regular partner of Messi on the field, who retired from professional football in December along with Sergio Busquets after winning his first MLS title. Aware of the symbolic and footballing weight of that position, Reguilon was clear when referring to his predecessor. “Jordi is irreplaceable,"He is the best left-back in the history of Spain," he remarked, making clear the respect he feels for the career of the former Barcelona player. Beyond the inevitable comparisons, the defender assured that he arrives with the intention of contributing his style and experience to the team, without seeking to occupy a position he considers unique. His arrival comes at a time when Inter Miami seeks to maintain its prominence in the league and consolidate a competitive identity under the leadership of Mascherano, who begins a new chapter as coach. Reguilon also valued the opportunity to grow as a footballer in an environment different from Europe, in a league that continues to expand its visibility and attract international talent. For the Spaniard, MLS represents an opportunity to accumulate playing time, assume responsibilities, and enjoy football in a demanding, but different, context.
