At 06:00 on October 19, the final game of the regular season, Inter Miami will face Nashville. Mascherano was interviewed before the game.

Messi currently has 26 goals and 15 assists this season and is a strong contender for the season MVP. Mascherano said: There is no doubt that even if he participates in fewer games than others, his impact on the team is obvious.

From a statistical perspective, Messi is already the best player. But he transcends those numbers. He shows on the field how important he is to the team and makes the game enjoyable for everyone watching.
