Is Lionel Messi Playing Tonight for Montreal vs Inter Miami?

Inter Miami cannot afford to get complacent at the moment. The MLS club is leading the league table but has arrived at a vital point with many fixtures over the next few months. Lionel Messi was back on the pitch for them in the last few games after being sidelined due to a hamstring injury.  The club will play FC Montreal next, and the fans are ecstatic to see the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner. But is Messi playing in the squad for Inter-Miami?

Meanwhile, it’s not too long until Messi will leave for the national team’s camp for the Copa America. The South American tournament will start in mid-June, which makes it mandatory for Miami to make the best use of its skipper. But whether Leo would be available for all the games till then has to be seen.

Lionel Messi’s presence is key for Inter Miami against Montreal

It was quite clear how vulnerable David Beckham’s club looked without Lionel Messi. It just won a single game out of the five he did not play but lost just one of the ten he played. But the good news is that the Argentine captain will be available for Inter Miami tonight. The player seems to be okay currently after a few regular injury hiccups since last year. Leo was also seen training along with the team a few days ago, showing positive signs for the rest of the season.

On the other hand, his performance tonight will play a major role if Miami wants to get revenge against Montreal. Last time, L’Impact came to Miami and won 3-2 against a Messi-deprived team at the Chase Stadium. This time they will host Inter Miami in their backyard, with a crowd expected to go wild in a one-of-a-kind game.

Lionel Messi has already impacted some stunning fan records this season. But more surprisingly, he is doing it in away games against rivals. Reports now suggest that the tickets for tonight’s game at the Saputo Stadium cost an average of $465, making it the most expensive in the MLS in the last fifteen years, according to reports.

The fans in the USA were left disappointed last time when Messi did not make it against the same team. However, to their fortune this time, the star is fit and ready to entertain with his immaculate dribbling and goals.

On the other hand, multiple records have already been reached. Inter Miami’s game against Sporting KC drew 72,610 fans at Arrowhead Stadium, making it the club’s record. But more importantly, it’s the MLS title at stake that will motivate Inter Miami to play its captain as much as possible. Who will win tonight’s game? Let us know in the comments.
