Messi Could Miss Six Games Due to International Duties; Miami Pegged as Championship Favorites

Lionel Messi's first full season with Major League Soccer's Inter Miami starts Feb. 21 at home against Real Salt Lake.
Messi could miss at least six games while with Argentina's national team due to the June FIFA window and the Copa América.
Miami is pegged as one of the championship favorites this coming year after Messi led the team to its first trophy by winning the Leagues Cup shortly after his arrival.
The Galaxy will open their 2024 MLS season by hosting Lionel Messi and Inter Miami at Dignity Health Sports Park on Feb. 25.
The Galaxy will return to the Rose Bowl on July 4 to face cross-town rival LAFC, a match that drew an MLS-record crowd of 82,110 last year.
