Lionel Messi's decision to leave Inter Miami and return to Europe to avoid losing good form

Three days ago Argentina surprised the entire world when it lost 2-0 against Uruguay, in what was gameweek number five of the CONMEBOL qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Messi was one of the most criticized, well, it is a reality that he did not have a great game, and it shows that he doesn't have games regularly.

Lionel Messi needs competition and will not have it until 2024 with Inter Miami, since he was left out of the Playoffs in Major League Soccer, and although he will have vacations, his rhythm is already being affected and it was noticeable against Uruguay . That is why from Argentina, the press mentions that he should return to FC Barcelona, where his doors are open.

FC Barcelona could be the place for him to start training, competing and continuing to have rhythm, because he needs to lead Argentina and he's an idol there. On top of it, until recently, there was talk of a loan from Inter Miami, however it didn't go through because they were going to a friendly tour in China, which got cancelled.

Messi's words after losing:

“Yes, we knew it was a game that was going to be difficult for us, it was difficult for us to play, they are intense, they make you one-on-one, they have physical and fast people in the middle and well, the truth is that it was difficult for us to find our own game”
