The arrival of Lionel Messi to the United States, and more specifically to Inter Miami, has marked a before and after in how soccer is seen in the country, and in the impact of Major League Soccer in the rest of the world. Despite starting on the right foot, being champions of the Leagues Cup, now the Argentine's team has been eliminated from the MLS playoffs, so the season for them has ended.
However, this would not have been the only low blow that Lionel Messi would have received from his new club... An Argentine talent from Inter Miami, called Benjamín Cremaschi, is the jewel of the team. This year, the player has played 40 games with the Pink Herons first team shirt with 3 goals and 6 assists.
The player had the option of playing with the Argentine national team along with Lionel, however, now it seems that a betrayal would be made towards Messi, and he will become naturalized as an American. Now, the player was called up with the United States under 23 national team, with the aim of playing in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
When will Lionel Messi play again?
As you may already know, there will be no domestic leagues this week, as a new FIFA break has arrived. The national teams of Europe will fight in the qualifiers towards EURO 2024, in addition, the national teams of CONMEBOL (South America) will be in the qualifiers to qualify for the 2026 world cup, which will be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Tomorrow, Thursday, October 12, 2023, Lionel Messi and the Argentina national team will face the Paraguay team, at the Monumental stadium. The following Monday, the second and last match against Peru will be played, this time, outside of Argentine soil.
