Inter Miami suffers bruising defeat with Lionel Messi absent again through injury

Inter Miami suffered a chastening 4-1 defeat by Chicago Fire on Wednesday, with talisman Lionel Messi missing through injury yet again.

Inter Miami suffered a chastening Major League Soccer defeat by Chicago Fire on Wednesday – losing 4-1 – with talisman Lionel Messi missing through injury yet again. The loss is a major dent to Miami’s playoff aspirations, with the team now needing to win all three of its remaining regular season games to stand any chance of progression. Messi has now missed the last four matches and his team has struggled to fill the gap left by the 36-year-old forward.

“With the deterioration that the team has been experiencing in the last 15 days, I don’t think the problem lies only in what our opponents are doing.” With doubts around whether Messi would play the match at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the hosts offered fans a financial incentive to attend. Prior to the match, the Chicago Fire said it would be offering “a $250 account credit toward new memberships for the 2024 season” or a “$50 account credit” for anyone unable to buy a membership for next year.
