Inter Miami’s Playoff Hopes Dwindle as Messi’s Return Looms: Latest Updates

2023-10-07 10:06:48

Miami exhausts its opportunities to enter the postseason. The Messidependencia has been clear, where the team has barely won two games out of the seven played, leaving behind key points for Beckham’s great dream and one more title for the DRV PNK Stadium showcases. More than a month later, Lionel Messi will be able to reappear with the pink shirt at a crucial moment. With the ‘Garzas’ they are touched and almost sunk, the Argentine is a ray of hope. Although the goal of the play-offs now seems like a pipe dream, with ten on the field nothing is impossible.

Messi’s physical condition has become a matter of state not only for Inter Miami, but for the entire MLS. The impact that the Argentine represents within the league is, in some cases, insane. That’s why his return is a crucial moment for the United States. “Tata will have a talk with Messi and depending on how he feels following training he will make the decision,” said Javier Morales, assistant to the Argentine coach. “We know what you are going through and it will be a decision that has to be made,” he said. Miami dreams of his return, even going so far as to excite fans with posts on social networks that point out that reality.

The other bad news for ‘Tata’ involves his other injured star, Jordi Alba. Unlike the Argentine, the Spaniard continues to have some discomfort and is expected to be available in the last two games of the regular season. The young Noah Allen has managed to momentarily make the former Barcelona player forget, so a priori the American will be in charge of making up for his loss tonight.

However, with or without Messi once morest the MLS leaders, Inter Miami will have to take out the abacus and start plotting solutions to enter the play-offs. The ‘Garzas’ do not depend on themselves following wasting several important bullets, and ‘Tata’ knows it. To secure their options, those from Florida only have to win their last three games (Cincinnati and Charlotte twice), add three at a time and wait for what happens higher up the table. Only five points separate the ‘Herons’ from the “promised land”, so the price to pay will be expensive.
