Gareth Bale said Lionel Messi will have less pressure to win in Major League Soccer because clubs "accept losing a lot better over there."

Earlier this month, Messi announced that he intends to join MLS club Inter Miami following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, although a deal is yet to be finalised.

The 2022 World Cup winner was linked with a return to former club Barcelona but decided to move to the United States and said he wanted to enjoy his football "in a calmer way."

Barca took a swipe at Messi's decision by releasing a statement saying he chose to "compete in a league with fewer demands."
