Messi Set to Return to Action After International Farewell
Argentine football legend Lionel Messi is set to return to club football with Inter Miami following his emotional farewell to international football.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner reportedly made his final appearance in Argentina’s colours against Benin on Wednesday (October 7), as the Albiceleste secured a 3-0 victory in his farewell match.
After bidding goodbye to the national team, Messi is now preparing to return to action for Inter Miami. The 39-year-old superstar is expected to feature against DC United on Sunday morning (October 11), marking his return to club football.
With his international duties behind him, Messi’s focus has now shifted to the United States. His contract with Inter Miami runs until 2028, giving the Argentine captain the opportunity to continue playing for the club for several more years.
Following an emotional chapter with Argentina, Messi has three major ambitions for the remainder of Inter Miami’s 2026 season: winning the MLS Cup, claiming the league’s top scorer award and making history by being named the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) for a third consecutive time.
As Messi turns the page on his international career, fans will be eager to see whether he can lead Inter Miami to further success and add more milestones to his remarkable football journey
