NASHVILLE, Tenn. — MLS commissioner Don Garber said that it is the responsibility of each club, not the league, to take advantage of Lionel Messi's presence in the competition.

Speaking to ESPN's Luis Miguel Echegaray ahead of Saturday's Leagues Cup final between Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC, Garber spoke on a number of topics, including how to build off the inaugural edition of the tournament.

But when asked how, for example, the New York Red Bulls should maximize Messi's presence when Inter Miami comes to Red Bull Arena on Aug.

26, Garber said: «It is the responsibility of the local clubs to build their fan base. The league is not going to tell them what to do when somebody else comes to town. — Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga & more (U.S.) »I know what I would do if I were a coach or a general manager.
