Lionel Messi was set to play against a former rival at Barcelona, now he will miss the match against Argentina

Lionel Messi is one of Inter Miami's most outstanding players. The Argentine is going through an excellent moment with the Fort Lauderdale team and even more so because of the recent acquisition of the Ballon d'Or. Everything seems to indicate that things are going for the best for Leo and it has been manifested in all the media where you can see a Messi totally happy with the things that are happening

Undoubtedly, Lionel Messi's recent award is a reward for his efforts during the 22/23 season and during the Qatar 2022 World Cup where the Argentine along with his teammates lifted the World Cup. In the face of this, international recognition for Messi became omnipresent and generated a great media impact that to this day, almost a year after that event, is still present.

Despite the good things that have been happening, there has been no shortage of criticism of the Argentine. With that said, we can understand that soccer is a subjective subject open to any kind of opinion. On the other hand, Argentina along with Lionel Scaloni is better than ever. It should be noted that Diego Armando Maradona himself questioned Scaloni's arrival to the national team. 

However, time proved the now experienced coach right, making history with the Albiceleste team and bringing the glory of football back to Argentina. Now, with the FIFA International Break approaching again, Argentina has its sights set on its next opponents, which are expected to be of high difficulty. Now, the world champion team faces top teams and in the process reunites with old rivals.

Messi will play against old rivals

Despite the fact that Argentina will play against Brazil and Uruguay, one of the absentees for this FIFA Break is Neymar. The player suffered an injury against Marcelo Bielsa's team that will keep him out of action for almost a year. On the other hand, another of those who will not be present is the case of Casemiro, who suffered an inconvenience last week. Nevertheless, despite being almost recovered, the Brazilian relapsed at Man Utd with a hamstring injury.
