Lionel Messi's MLS future addressed by Inter Miami boss after loss vs Atlanta United: ‘I would not dare to say…’
Hindustan TimesLionel Messi’s first full season at Inter Miami FC came crashing to a close, as Atlanta United completed a comeback in their first round playoff contest to win the best-of-three series in the deciding game in dramatic fashion, 3-2. Lionel Messi's Inter Miami were knocked out of the MLS playoffs in round one, in a stunning upset of the favourites. Disappointment for Miami after terrific regular season Messi’s arrival heralded the subsequent additions of Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets to the team, boosting Miami immediately from 14th in the Eastern Conference and 27th in the MLS overall in 2023 to a dominant top position in 2024. Atlanta will now face Orlando City in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, while Miami will now face the long wait to the start of the 2025 season in February, and what will be Messi’s age-38 season.
