A lot of eyeballs would be on Lionel Messi when Inter Miami take on CF Montreal in MLS 2024 on Sunday, May 12. The Argentine star had a headline-grabbing performance when he registered six goal contributions in Inter Miami's 6-2 win over New York Red Bulls in their last match. With five assists and one goal, Messi stood out as one of the best performers alongside his former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez, who netted his first MLS hat-trick. Fans would expect him to continue that form come May 12 against Montreal. But will Messi play in the CF Montreal vs Inter Miami match? Lionel Messi Scores, Registers Five Assists; Luis Suarez Nets Hat-Trick As Inter Miami Beat New York Red Bulls 6–2 in MLS 2024 (Watch Goal Video Highlights).

Inter Miami have been in good form this season and sit on top of the Eastern Conference standings in MLS 2024. With 24 points from 12 matches, Messi and co have a slender three-point lead over Cincinnati, who have played a match less. A win in this contest can help the Herons stretch that lead at the top of the MLS 2024 points table. Also, they would have the momentum, especially after such a dominant victory in their last match against New York Red Bulls. Lionel Messi Reacts As Legendary Argentina Manager Cesar Luis Menotti Passes Away Aged 85 (See Instagram Story).
