(VIDEO) Despite being 36 years old, Lionel Messi still has a lot to give and this shows why

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami failed to achieve their desired goal to secure a spot in the MLS Playoffs. Faced with this, things did not work out for Gerardo Martino's team and they will have to settle for trying to achieve their goal until next year. In Miami's last match, the Fort Lauderdale team drew at DRV PNK Stadium against Charlotte FC. Likewise, even with a win, there was no longer any chance for the team to qualify.

In light of this, The Herons will return to MLS until February 2024. At the moment, the plans for the team are to start an international tour in order to be active despite the fact that there will be no soccer for the next few months. It should be noted that despite the FIFA International Break, activity in Major League Soccer continues. The schedules and dates of the American competition make both dates clash with each other.

Because of this, Messi supported from the stands despite the fact that 24 hours earlier he started in Argentina's win against Peru. Despite coming off an injury and already being 36 years old, the Argentine continues to show that he is an important player. The former Barcelona player scored a brace against the Peruvians and consolidates himself as the top reference in both Argentina and Miami.

It should be noted that with the victory against Paraguay and Lima, Argentina continues to be the undisputed leader in these South American Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup. With Brazil's loss to Paraguay and a draw against Venezuela, Lionel Scaloni's team has a clear path to continue defending its title and consolidate itself as the sole leader of the competition. Here's a video that shows why Lionel Messi is a different player despite his age.
