Inter Miami played FC Cincinnati to a 0-0 draw without the suspended Lionel Messi on Saturday night. Messi was not available after he and teammate Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping the All-Star game. Messi was still in attendance on Saturday, watching from a suite at Chase Stadium.

Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will miss Inter Miami's big game July 26 vs. FC Cincinnati. It's because the two missed this week's MLS All-Star Game.

Jorge Mas disagrees with MLS’s decision to suspend Messi and warns the sanction could impact the star’s willingness to remain in the league through 2026.
