Messi, who suffered from muscle fatigue, played for Inter Miami against Toronto FC on Wednesday, an important matchup for qualification for the North American League (MLS) playoffs.

But suddenly, in surprise, he took off the captain’s ribbon, handed it to DeAndre Yedlin, and stayed on the court to wait for Robert Taylor to be ready to take his place. He took a moment to remove his socks, remove his shin pads and get his partner ready.
Initially there were no signs of serious injury and he headed towards the area occupied by the substitutes and Jordi Alba, who had been injured two minutes earlier. The two chatted for a while until the Rosario players walked into the dressing room and the referee signaled the end of the first half, with Facundo Farias giving his team the lead in injury time.
