L. MESSI
Midfielder · Inter Miami · Major League Soccer
“The defending champion. Probably his last World Cup.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Messi still carries value as a striker, with recent output at Inter Miami showing his craft remains useful. The discount from league context and uncertain starts keeps the case from going higher, and he is past his usual peak window.
