Lionel Messi must make a huge decision regarding his future.

Inter Miami played yesterday without Lionel Messi, and as has become customary, they were humiliated by a score of 4-1. Inter Miami had become one of the best teams in the United States thanks to the incorporation of the Argentine star, however, thanks to his injury, now the team has once again reaped extremely negative results.

Inter Miami is in 14th place in the current MLS with three games left to finish the regular phase. Lionel Messi's team is not only obliged to win all the matches that lie ahead, but must save by results so that mathematics still maintains the illusion, although the chances are slim. This is why the situation of the captain of the Argentine team has begun to set off alarm bells, since if he were eliminated from the current competition he would be out of action for five months, returning to activity only in March 2024.

Given this, Lionel Messi would have a unique alternative in his hands to continue with the football rhythm and reach the next Copa América in the best way, a new obsession that the former Paris Saint Germain player has. The site Managing Barca stated on Previously, Beckham was loaned to Milan and Henry did the same with Arsenal, so a door opens for Messi to return to the club that made him so happy.

The games remaining for Inter Miami

Lionel Messi's Inter Miami still has to play three games, which they must win (and wait for other results) to be able to stay alive in the competition. The fixture indicates that the Herons will play against FC Cincinatti next Saturday, on Wednesday, October 18 they will face Charlotte FC and on Saturday the 21st they will visit this same team on the last day.
