Five MLS stadiums have artificial turf surfaces, including Atlanta. For Atlanta United’s 5-2 victory, Messi and the defenseman Jordi Alba did not suit up.
Lionel Messi, a star for Inter Miami, chose not to dress for Atlanta United’s game on Saturday, his second game skipped this week.
Five MLS stadiums have artificial turf surfaces, including Atlanta. For Atlanta United’s 5-2 victory, Messi and the defenseman Jordi Alba did not suit up.
Messi was held out, according to Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino, “because he has muscular fatigue and it was prudent to leave him.” The Filature at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which some athletes feel is harder on their body than grass, was not Messi’s rationale for staying in Miami, according to Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank.
Blank cited Messi’s declaration that he wouldn’t shy away from playing on a synthetic field after joining Inter Miami.
Blank replied, “I believe he made that decision.
“I actually don’t have a position on that. I’ll simply restate what he mentioned in the press conference, which is that he has participated in certain amateur and professional competitions on artificial grass since he was little. It didn’t seem to affect his choice, in my opinion. Even if it was only a slight injury, I believe he was hurt. Gonzalo Pineda, the head coach of Atlanta United, claimed to have found out about Messi’s choice via social media.
Pineda added, “I checked the Twitter account to know he was not coming,” and he urged his players to stay on task despite the attention given to Messi’s position.
“Honestly, I told the players, there are a lot of things going on in the air, and it appears like everything is focused on Inter Miami. We must change that to be about ourselves. Before the game, Blank addressed at a press conference to go into more information about Friday’s revelation that the U.S.
Atlanta will be the site of a new national training facility for the football federation. Blank has donated USD 50 million in support of the endeavour.

A disappointing 71,635 spectators at Mercedes-Benz Stadium were disappointed by Messi’s absence for the Major League Soccer encounter.
