I don’t write about soccer much, but it’s unavoidable when it gets to something like this. In Game 3 of their Eastern Conference series at Chase Stadium on November 9th, Atlanta United eliminated Messi and Inter Miami CF in the first round of the MLS Playoffs.

The game was going in Atlanta’s favor the whole first half, but Messi came in the 2nd half and scored an equalizer.
