In a vibrant pre-game ceremony preceding the Leagues Cup Round-of-32 match against Orlando City SC, the DRV PNK Stadium reverberated with exuberant cheers and warmth as Inter Miami CF's latest acquisition, Jordi Alba, graced the pitch for the very first time. The enthusiastic Herons fans welcomed him wholeheartedly, setting the stage for a momentous occasion.

Jordi Alba, a distinguished Spanish international, now forms an illustrious triumvirate of former FC Barcelona legends who have embraced Inter Miami CF during the MLS Secondary Transfer Window. This trio, which includes the iconic Lionel Messi and the accomplished Sergio Busquets, brings an unparalleled level of talent and experience to the club. Alba's introduction was a testament to the club's grand ambitions, with the ceremonial duties entrusted to club owners Jorge and José Mas, along with the legendary David Beckham.

Jorge Mas, in a gesture of genuine anticipation, fulfilled his promise to the fans by introducing the newest addition to Inter Miami's roster – Jordi Alba. Amidst a captivated audience, Alba, the celebrated left-back, seized the spotlight. Expressing his gratitude in Spanish, Alba acknowledged the warmth and hospitality he had received since his arrival. His words resonated deeply with the fans who had endured a nearly two-hour weather delay before the commencement of the game. Alba's sense of pride in donning the Inter Miami jersey and representing the club was palpable, particularly given his status as a 2012 Euro champion with the Spanish national team.

As the ceremony unfolded, Alba's aspirations for the team became evident. With unwavering determination, he proclaimed his hope for collective success, aiming to vie for every attainable title alongside his newfound teammates. It was a declaration that reverberated with optimism and ambition, setting the tone for the journey ahead.

In a tactical decision by head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino, Jordi Alba commenced the match on the bench, while Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets were entrusted with on-field responsibilities from the outset. The latter, Busquets, swiftly made an impact by breaking the deadlock in the 7th minute, underlining the influence and potency that these former Barcelona maestros bring to Inter Miami CF.
