As it turns out, the long-awaited reunion between soccer’s two greatest icons never materialized — and now, the real reason has come to light.

Lionel Messi, once the undisputed face of American soccer since joining Inter Miami, is now feeling the pressure — both from the explosive rise of Son Heung-Min at LAFC and the sudden arrival of Thomas Muller at the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Despite renewing his contract with Inter Miami a few months prior, Jordi Alba chose to end his professional career and announce his retirement. After some weeks, the Spanish star disclosed the real reason behind this surprising decision, even as he continued to excel alongside Lionel Messi.

The MLSPA has released its 2025 Salary Guide, with Lionel Messi topping the list which also includes new league stars Son Heung-min and Thomas Muller.

Jordi Alba was absent from training alongside Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates just days before their playoff clash against Nashville SC in the Major League Soccer postseason.

As much as Lionel Messi has enjoyed his American adventure, he has now revealed that there’s one thing he doesn’t like about MLS — and even offered a three-word piece of advice that, if implemented, could see global superstars like Antoine Griezmann, Neymar, and even Cristiano Ronaldo follow in his footsteps.

When Thomas Muller arrived in Vancouver this past August, few imagined that within weeks, the German legend would be rewriting the very same statistical categories that Lionel Messi once ruled unchallenged.

As both legends continue their journeys far from Europe’s familiar lights, a curious question emerges: which of the two has endured the longest drought without a club trophy?

As one of the top contenders of the competition, Lionel Messi has set his honest expectation on Inter Miami winning the MLS.

Inter Miami have agreed to extend the contract of a player who will continue to be Lionel Messi’s teammate in Major League Soccer.

Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Harry Kane — three of modern soccer’s most feared finishers — each had a chance to rewrite history in 2025. But even as their streaks grew and their form soared, one of Lionel Messi’s strongest and most impressive records remained untouched.

Reports have surfaced linking former Lionel Messi coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino with one of his conference rivals ahead of the 2026 MLS season.

After more than two years at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi reflected on his impact on the Major League Soccer, and what the league needs to make the next big step.

Could Son Heung-Min and Christian Pulisic form AC Milan's future front line from January? That question has set the soccer world buzzing after reports suggested that Son Heung-Min may be considering a loan move during the MLS offseason.

This week, Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi once again reminded the world why he’s still rewriting history at 38 years old, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s name inevitably entered the conversation once more.
