aMuch uncertainty regarding Lionel Messi’s participation in the MLS All-Star Game, as well as the absence from the Argentine star due to the match, was finally confirmed. The match is held every year and pits the best MLS against the best La Liga MX. It’s a duel that has been eagerly awaited by fans and attracted all the attention, as both leagues attract great people at world-class levels.
During the week there was a lot of debate about the situation for Intermiami players. After participating in the Club World Cup, there was the level of physical load they had, as they could have had, as the stars could not have been in the best shape after the match last month. And that is what MLS claimed to justify the absence of Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba.

“We have an All-Star game that we believe is our number one priority. We have players who played nine games in 30 days. Inter Miami had a different schedule than the other teams. Leo played 90 minutes in all games.
Messi and other cases of absence
This is the second year in a row that has missed a duel since Messi was also absent from last season’s All-Star Game due to injuries. This is the cause of MLS’ disappointment, as Argentina’s presence in this match has attracted much more attention due to his global influence.
Messi was joined by the case of Columbia’s James Rodriguez, one of the La Liga MX stars, but also unable to exist. In the past, the iconic case of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played for the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2018, was an iconic case, but by his own decision he preferred not to go to games and won sanctions. The punishment was a pause of MLS match.
Javier Mashano’s opinion on this issue
In 15 days InterMiami played five games. This is an unusual person who warns players of physical demands they have experienced. For this reason, older players such as Messi and Jordi Alba need to be careful. A few days ago, Intermiami coach Javier Mascherano commented on his opinion on the situation of his players.
“I want them to rest, but that’s not my decision. I know how important the All-Star Game is. So far, there have been no official decisions from the club and everything continues as normal,” explained Mascherano. Finally, Messi and Jordi Alba have the rest they needed.
