Is Messi playing? You can bet on it. The 37-year-old star only has so many more opportunities like this in his storied career.

When was the last time Messi played in Argentina?

The last time Messi played for Argentina in his home country was not the best result.

Argentina lost 2-0 to Uruguay on November 16, 2023, the club's first loss since losing to Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the World Cup in Qatar.

Losing doesn't happen often for Argentina, the reigning world champions and two-time defending Copa America champions: they have lost just four times in the last 67 games played.

Inter Miami plays its season finale on Saturday against New England Revolution with a chance to score 74 points and set the MLS points record in a season.
