Laras supports Messi! The King of Football Team has won 64 goals in 53 games + double championships, and the contract renewal is about to be aimed at 2026

American Major League Legend Alexi Laras recently expressed shock at the remarks about "Messi's failure in performance after joining Miami International." After the Argentine superstar switched to Miami International in the summer window of 2023, he has helped the team win the League Cup and the Supporters' Shield Championship, but the current challenge is still facing the MLS championship.

In response, Laras said on the State of the Union podcast: "Oh my God! It's ridiculous to think that Messi's joining is a failure. Regardless of the final result, Messi's cooperation with Miami International will be regarded as a success. What I mean by success is not only the global attention he brings, the economic benefits he creates, and those wonderful moments, but also because this king of football will play until at least the 2026 World Cup, and maybe even longer. From all aspects of feedback, he has a very happy life here."

According to statistics, Messi has played 53 official games for Miami International so far, contributing 43 goals and 21 assists. Although the existing contract expires in December 2025, the 37-year-old Argentina's football team is expected to renew its contract until the end of the 2026 World Cup.
