Lionel Messi, renowned as the World Cup's all-time leading goal scorer, is among the 29 players selected to represent Major League Soccer (MLS) against LIGA MX All-Stars. This highly anticipated match is scheduled to occur on July 29 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
As of the current date, Messi has demonstrated impressive form for Inter Miami CF, tallying 12 goals and eight assists across 14 games this season. He is one of 13 World Cup players named to the MLS All-Star roster. The selection includes other notable players such as Cape Verde defender Steven Moreira from the Columbus Crew and four members of the United States team.
It remains uncertain if Messi will participate in this year's All-Star game, particularly after his absence from the previous year's exhibition match led to a one-game suspension. Messi's participation in the World Cup saw him lead Argentina to a 3-2 victory against Egypt after overcoming a two-goal deficit.
