Lionel Messi is heading to New York.
On Saturday, September 21, his team, Inter Miami CF, will travel to the Bronx to face New York City FC at their home ground, Yankee Stadium.
Coming into the match, Inter Miami CF sits atop the MLS Eastern Conference with an impressive record of 19 wins, 5 losses and 4 draws, while Alonso Martinez and Santiago Rodriguez's NYCFC sits in sixth place with 11 wins, 7 losses and 10 draws.
Saturday's match will mark Messi's first game in New York. His team faced off against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, in March, but Messi did not play in that game because he was with Argentina at the time.
Inter Miami CF coach Gerardo Martino confirmed to reporters that Messi will play this time.
“His inclusion will be conditional,” the New York Post reported. Martino said the club would be careful not to overexpose Messi on the field and expose its star player to further injury, even though Messi had only returned to action on Sept. 14 after spraining his ankle in the Copa America final.
If you want to see Messi in action (for who knows how long), last-minute tickets are still available for Saturday's match between Inter Miami FC and NYCFC.
