<p>The arrival of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> has been a game-changer both for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Major League Soccer</a></strong>. The Argentine star has made an impact both on and off the field, but it looks like he’s just getting started.</p>



<p>His presence not only has led to a significant increase in <strong><a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=tv_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1000lS8e&amp;ct=BolavipUS" rel="sponsored nofollow">MLS Pass on Apple TV</a></strong> subscribers, but also to the <strong>number of spectators</strong> in the Herons’ games — with ticket prices going through the roof.</p>



<p>Inter Miami had to improvise ways to let more fans attend home games, adding extra seats to the corners of the DRV PNK Stadium. However, the club has already started the <strong>construction of a bigger stadium</strong> to allow more spectators witness Messi’s greatness.</p>



<h2>When will Inter Miami open their new stadium?</h2>



<p>Inter Miami announced Monday that construction of a new stadium began on <strong>Miami Freedom Park</strong> earlier in August. The <strong>25,000-seat venue</strong> is scheduled <strong>to open in 2025</strong>, in the final year of Messi’s contract.</p>



<p>“<em>With Inter Miami my family set out to build something truly transformational. In just four years we have changed the perception worldwide of American soccer. As we commence construction of Miami Freedom Park that same vision guides us</em>,” said Inter Miami Managing Owner Jorge Mas in a statement.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> has completely changed the outlook in US soccer since joining <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>. The Argentine star has made an impact not only on the field, but also off it by helping <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Major League Soccer</a></strong> get unprecedented attention.</p>



<p>Having recently won the World Cup with his country, the 36-year-old still has a lot left in the tank and the rest of the league has noticed that. Messi has made such an impact in <strong>MLS</strong> that rival teams have already <strong>asked for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/philadelphia-coach-wants-mls-rules-to-change-because-of-lionel-messi-20230816-BUS-47345.html">major changes</a>.</strong></p>



<p>While the salary cap rule is probably the biggest thing everyone wants to address, the league also seems to be considering the possibility of making changes to its <strong>schedule</strong> because of Leo.</p>



<h2>MLS could take a break during FIFA fixtures because of Messi</h2>



<p>Inter Miami head coach <strong>Gerardo Martino</strong> revealed MLS has plans to <strong>stop the regular season activity during international breaks</strong> to avoid losing players like Messi for a number of fixtures.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>I have it understood that they are analyzing that for next year. It is probable that that will happen,”</strong></em> Martino said, via Inter Miami insider Franco Panizo.</p>



<p>The Herons coach recently confirmed Messi <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-mls-games-lionel-messi-will-miss-with-inter-miami-per-coach-tata-martino-20230828-BUS-53635.html?utm_term=Autofeed&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1693307235">will miss at least three games</a></strong> due to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which is why MLS would consider making this change. Most leagues take a break while their players go out on international duty, so it <strong>would make sense</strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="" image="" excerpt="" title="" publication_id=""></div>


<h2>Which MLS games is Messi expected to miss?</h2>



<p>Lionel Messi could miss two games <strong>in September</strong> (<strong>Sporting Kansas City</strong> and <strong>Atlanta United</strong>) and two in <strong>October </strong>(<strong>FC Cincinnati</strong> and <strong>Charlotte FC</strong>).</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a></strong> have a huge task, and that is to at least try to make it to the MLS Playoffs play-in round. Currently <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gerardo-martino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tata Martino</a>’s side is now 14th in the MLS East and 11 points from the play-in spot that the Chicago Fire possesses.

<p>The last time the two teams faced each other was in the Leagues Cup final where Messi and company won the tournament in a dramatic penalty kick shootout. Now Inter Miami will host Nashville, and after that match and before the international window opens, Inter Miami will travel cross country to face LAFC, the current <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-2023-salaries-top-25-highest-paid-players-20230517-BUS-1719.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> champions.</p>

<p>Then because of national team commitments, <strong>Inter Miami could have up to 11 players missing</strong> from their roster when they face Sporting KC in Kansas City on Sunday, September 9th.</p>



<h2>Which Inter Miami players will play for their national teams?</h2>



<p>For now, Tata Martino has a list of at least 11 players which include <strong>Messi, Yedlin, Callender, Kryvtsov, Alba, Miller, Ruiz, Azcona, Gomez, Campana, and Taylor </strong>as locked call ups. <strong>Cremaschi </strong>has the possibility of being called into USMNT camp according to the Miami Herald.</p>



<p>For Messi the travel will take him from Miami to Buenos Aires for a September 7th debut in World Cup qualifying against Ecuador, then a trip to La Paz Bolivia and high altitude to play the hosts on September 12th.</p>

<p>A new era is about to start in videogames, with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ea-sports-fc">EA Sports FC</a></strong> set to replace the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ea-sports-fifa">FIFA</a> franchise. Of course, one of the biggest questions fans are already making is what will be the player ratings, with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong> drawing much of the attention.</p>



<p>Since both have left the Old Continent this year, many wonder how their absence in the top five European leagues will impact their ratings. The Argentine superstar joined MLS side <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>, while the Portuguese striker signed for Saudi Arabian outfit <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a></strong> in January.</p>



<p>Both still seem to have a lot left in the tank, but of course, age is always a factor when it comes to aspects such as market value or rating in a videogame. Though there’s no official information by the developer yet, the <strong>ratings started to leak out</strong> on the Internet.</p>



<h2>Who will have better rating on EAFC24, Messi or Ronaldo?</h2>



<p>On Twitter, @Fut_scoreboard leaked the first EAFC24 ratings, suggesting that Messi would have <strong>90</strong>, while Ronaldo would be at <strong>86</strong>. This means Leo would suffer a one-point downgrade, whereas CR7 would lose four points in regard to FIFA 23.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="665" height="908" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/28102830/Captura-de-pantalla-2023-08-28-174404-665x908.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-53709" sizes="(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px"></figure></div><figcaption>Via Twitter @Fut_scoreboard</figcaption></figure>



<h2>When was the last time Messi and Ronaldo had the same rating?</h2>



<p>Messi and Ronaldo haven’t had the same rating <strong>since FIFA 19, when both had 94</strong>. From then on, the Argentine star has always had a higher rating than the Portuguese: 94 to 93 in FIFA 20, 93 to 92 in FIFA 21, 93 to 91 in FIFA 22 and 91 to 90 in FIFA 23.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> is set to take the field on Wednesday when <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> welcome <strong>Nashville SC</strong> to the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale in Week 29 of the 2023 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a></strong> regular season.<strong> </strong>Since <strong>Idalia </strong>didn’t make landfall in South Florida, the game is expected to take place normally.</p>



<p>Idalia intensified quickly on Sunday night before becoming a<strong> major category three hurricane</strong> by the time it hit Florida’s Big Bend near Keaton Beach on Wednesday morning.</p>



<p>Evacuations were ordered along the region, which was severely struck by the storm. President of the United States <strong>Joe Biden</strong> approved the state of emergency declared by Governor <strong>Ron DeSantis</strong>.</p>



<h2>Idalia wouldn’t prevent Inter Miami-Nashville SC from taking place</h2>



<p>Neither the league nor the clubs have said anything about Idalia affecting the area nor the match organization,<strong> so the game between Inter Miami and Nashville SC would take place as expected.</strong></p>



<h2>At what time does Inter Miami-Nashville start?</h2>



<p>The game between Inter Miami and Nashville SC in Week 29 of the 2023 MLS regular season will get underway on Aug. 30 <strong>at 7:30 PM (ET)</strong>.</p>

<p>Needless to say, the Argentine superstar plays a pivotal role for the Herons, who started to string good results together only when Leo joined the team. Therefore, having to play a few games without him <strong>will be a huge challenge.</strong></p>

<h2>Martino says Messi will miss at least 3 MLS games with Inter Miami</h2>



<p>According to Martino, Lionel Messi <strong>will miss three MLS games </strong>with Inter Miami while he represents the Argentinian national team <strong>in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.</strong></p>



<p>The 7x Ballon d’Or winner would be out <strong>during the September international break</strong>, in which Argentina will face Ecuador on Sept. 7 and Bolivia on Sept. 12.

<p>Messi came on in the 60th minute and was able to provide a lot of magic near the end of the match with a riveting play he started that led to a sequence of passes that would result in a sensational goal scored by the Argentine. Not only did Red Bull Arena light up with his goal, but onlookers in New York’s famous Times Square where the match was broadcast live on a screen in the famous New York City center cheered.</p>

<p>Another factor which complicated the Argentine’s stay with <strong>Paris Saint-Germain</strong> was the tough attitude of their ultras. Those fans repeatedly made him feel the pressure by booing in <em>Parc des Princes</em> and chanting against him at the club’s headquarters. It often included insults. </p>

<p>Lionel Messi wasted no time leaving his mark, as he led Inter Miami to a historic victory in the<strong> Leagues Cup</strong>. In his first tournament with the club, Messi’s exceptional scoring ability played a significant role in clinching their maiden championship.</p>



<p>Notably, Messi’s influence extended beyond that competition. During last Wednesday’s US Open Cup semifinals against Cincinnati, he provided two crucial assists in a thrilling 3-3 draw. This ultimately secured Inter Miami’s place in the final through another penalty shootout.</p>



<p>This challenging calendar has forced Inter Miami to play too many matchups in about a month. In order to ensure Messi doesn’t suffer any injury setbacks, Martino chose to keep his best player off the field to start the game.</p>



<h2>When is Lionel Messi’s next game?</h2>



<p>Lionel Messi’s next matchup with Inter Miami is on Wednesday,<strong> August 30</strong>, in an MLS game against Nashville.</p>

<h2>Why is Lionel Messi not playing in Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls?</h2>



<p>This is merely a tactical decision by&nbsp;coach <strong>Gerardo Martino</strong>. After winning the <strong>2023 Leagues Cup</strong> and a place at the <strong>U.S. Open Cup</strong> final, Lionel Messi needed some rest.</p>

<p>It’s important to remember that <strong>Inter Miami</strong> played the final of the <strong>Leagues Cup</strong> just a week ago at <strong>Nashville</strong> and, four days later, Messi was exhausted after a thriller at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> which went to a penalty shootout in the semifinals of the <strong>U.S. Open Cup</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Lionel Messi</strong>&nbsp;is one of many starters who are not playing to get a breather. For example, <strong>Sergio Busquets</strong> is also on the bench. Nevertheless, they are available as substitutes in New York. So, at least for some minutes, the MLS debut of the legend will have to wait. </p>

<p>Right now,&nbsp;<strong>Inter Miami</strong>&nbsp;are the worst team in the Eastern Conference. They will only have 12 games to climb back to the 9th spot in the standings to have a shot at the playoffs. It’s a 12-point deficit. That’s why Messi should get some time in the match. </p>

<h2>What are the odds to win the MLS Cup for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami?</h2>



<p>Lionel Messi makes his official MLS debut this Saturday against the&nbsp;<strong>New York Red Bulls</strong>.

<p>However, even in this ‘impossible’ scenario, the Messi effect is real. Inter Miami have gotten the third best odds to win the <strong>MLS Cup</strong> at +750. They’re just behind <strong>FC Cincinnat</strong>i (+500) and LAFC (+700). </p>



<p>Believe it or not, <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> and company are ahead in the odds compared with better positioned clubs in the standings like <strong>Philadelphia Union</strong>, New England Revolution, Orlando City, Real Salt Lake, <strong>Seattle Sounders</strong> or St. Louis. </p>
