LAFC is the better team on paper, but plenty of soccer fans will pack BMO Stadium for a chance to see the greatest player alive. Don’t know what the fuss is about? We're here to help.
Not at all ... at least, I wouldn't assume that. First off, LAFC is one of the best teams in the league, currently second place in the Western conference. Carlos Vela and Denis Bouanga of LAFC are stars in their own right — Bouanga is among the leaders in goals scored in MLS. Also, despite the fanfare, talent and success that Messi brings to Inter Miami, the overall team record is… not that great. They are second-to-last in their conference for a reason.
Messi still has duties to fulfill to play for Argentina’s national team, and they’re coming up very soon. While Inter Miami’s coach confirmed that Messi is going to start the match against LAFC, there’s been plenty of talk of also resting him. In Inter Miami’s last match against New York, Messi came off the bench and made an immediate impact. However, the simple chance of seeing Messi or occupying the same airspace might be enough for a lot of fans.
