Big disappointment for Inter Miami and Lionel Messi. First in the regular season and among the big favorites for the title, the Florida franchise was knocked out in the first round of the play-offs last weekend by Atlanta United. The former Barcelona player and his partners lost (2-3) in the third and final match of their series, a setback synonymous with elimination.
Appearing very touched after the match, Lionel Messi still has not digested this elimination. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, who had great ambitions, would be “depressed” by this failure, according to the Spanish media Relevo.
“Preparing ourselves to come back stronger next year”
On his social networks, Lionel Messi made the end of his season official. The Argentine idol also announced that he would indeed still be an Inter Miami player next year, he who is still under contract until December 2025.
“ A season has ended in which we have continued to grow as a club and, although we have not achieved certain goals, we want more, thus indicated the “Pulga”. Thank you to everyone who accompanied and supported us. Now we will prepare to come back stronger next year. » As a reminder, the MLS season will resume next March.
