There had been some query about whether or not Messi would play in any respect, particularly since Inter Miami had already wrapped up the Supporters’ Protect and No. 1 seed within the MLS Cup playoffs. All that was at stake for Inter Miami on Saturday was the file.

And there was a scare within the 74th minute when Messi was fouled, yelled in ache and grabbed at his proper ankle as he was on the bottom.
