Lionel Messi is in the starting lineup for Inter Miami in its MLS season finale against FC Charlotte. Messi will be the captain in the meaningless game on Saturday night for Miami, which failed to make the playoffs.
Lionel Messi - The Canadian PressCHARLOTTE, N.C. — Lionel Messi is in the starting lineup for Inter Miami in its MLS season finale against FC Charlotte.
Charlotte wasted a pair of one-goal leads and tied Miami 2-2 on Wednesday, missing out on a chance to move from 12th to 8th place in the Eastern Conference. The top nine teams in each conference make the playoffs. Charlotte is one of five teams chasing the last two playoff spots in the conference. Messi told reporters in Peru that he wants to play once more for Inter Miami before his inaugural MLS season ends, and that meant playing in Charlotte even though the match will be played on artificial turf.
