Messi’s absence was evident throughout the entire game, which Inter Miami ultimately lost to Houston Dynamo 2-1. A game against Toronto FC on September 20 saw the Argentine maestro abruptly removed from the field after only 37 minutes.
He had been out for a protracted period due to a troubling injury concern, depriving Inter Miami of their star player just when they needed him most.
Inter Miami had to contend with playing four games without Messi since his long-awaited arrival in July. With two wins and two losses, the team’s performance in these games had been inconsistent.
Fans and the coaching staff are counting on Messi’s quick recovery as Inter Miami continues its difficult season. Everyone connected to the club is eagerly awaiting word on Messi’s health as their upcoming matchup with NYCFC in an Eastern Conference showdown looms large.
Young fan’s magical meeting with Lionel Messi
Meeting your sporting hero in person is one of the most magical experiences in all of sports. On a memorable Wednesday night, just before the U.S. Open Cup final, one young fan’s dream came true. His idol was none other than Lionel Messi.
Unfortunately, Lionel Messi had to miss the U.S. Open Cup final due to injury as excitement for it grew. Messi, dressed in all black, made his way from the tunnel to the stands. Following closely behind him was Jordi Alba, another Inter Miami star who, like Messi, was also unable to participate in the crucial game due to injury.
But the group of young children who were gathered in the tunnel were what really made this moment unique. As they got a good look at Messi, their faces started to glow with surprise and joy.
