Inter Miami are set to host New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer action, with all eyes on Lionel Messi. Inter Miami are looking for their first win this Saturday at Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park following last week’s grand opening. Their opponent in this MLS matchup will be New York Red Bulls, with Lionel Messi once again leading the team. The Herons currently sit tied for second place in the Eastern Conference standings with 11 points, level with New York City FC and Charlotte FC, after recording three wins, two draws, and one loss. At the top of the table are Nashville SC with 13 points. Their opponent, New York Red Bulls, have had a similar campaign so far: they trail Inter Miami by just one point in the standings and will be motivated by the chance to make a statement with a win at Nu Stadium. Confirmed Inter Miami lineup Compared to last week’s match, head coach Javier Mascherano will introduce a couple of changes to the starting lineup against New York Red Bulls, taking into account recent performances and minor fitness concerns. Most importantly, Lionel Messi will remain in the starting XI. Lionel Messi of Inter Miami talks with Javier Mascherano as he leaves the field. The confirmed Inter Miami lineup is: Dayne St. Clair; Ian Fray, Maximiliano Falcon, Micael, Sergio Reguilon; Rodrigo De Paul, Yannick Bright; Mateo Silvetti, Lionel Messi, Telasco Segovia; German Berterame. Confirmed New York Red Bulls lineup After defeating FC Cincinnati last weekend in MLS play, New York Red Bulls enter this matchup against Inter Miami in good form. However, head coach Michael Bradley knows that Saturday’s challenge against Lionel Messi and company will be far more demanding. The confirmed New York Red Bulls lineup is: Ethan Horvath; Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, Dylan Nealis, Robert Voloder, Matthew Dos Santos; Adri Mehmeti, Emil Forsberg, Ronald Donkor; Cade Cowell, Julian Hall, Jorge Ruvalcaba.

Giovani Lo Celso, a key teammate of Lionel Messi with Argentina, is back from a lengthy injury just two months ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In recent weeks, the news has not been positive for Argentina, with several players sidelined by injuries in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, Giovani Lo Celso is the exception, returning after an extended spell on the sidelines with the goal of joining Lionel Messi in North America this summer. Lo Celso was included in the 24-man squad selected by head coach Manuel Pellegrini for Real Betis’ match on Sunday against Osasuna in Pamplona. The call-up marks the midfielder’s return following a prolonged absence due to a muscle injury. Gio’s last appearance came on January 22, when he played just six minutes in a UEFA Europa League clash against PAOK before suffering a significant tear in the rectus femoris of his right thigh that forced him to leave the match. If he sees minutes against Osasuna this Sunday, Lo Celso will end an 80-day stretch without official match action. In total, he missed 15 matches at club level across La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Europa League.

He was left off Lionel Scaloni’s roster for the friendlies against Mauritania and Zambia in Buenos Aires during the March FIFA break. With just two months until the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Lo Celso’s situation remains uncertain. For years, he has been a key piece of the squad and Lionel Messi’s primary creative partner. However, recurring injuries over the past few seasons have caused him to lose ground, while other players have risen in the manager’s pecking order. At the moment, reports indicate that Scaloni is set on bringing several midfielders to the World Cup, including Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Exequiel Palacios, and Nicolas Paz. Lo Celso is not currently part of that group and will need to deliver strong performances — and, above all, maintain his fitness — in the coming months with Betis to compete for one of the final roster spots. Lo Celso has unfinished business at the World Cup Despite being a regular part of the Argentina setup for most of the past decade, Giovani Lo Celso has yet to play in a World Cup. He was included in the squad for Russia 2018, but then-head coach Jorge Sampaoli surprisingly did not give him a single minute across Argentina’s four matches. Four years later, Lo Celso was a clear starter in Lionel Scaloni’s plans heading into Qatar 2022, but an untimely muscle injury suffered weeks before the tournament while playing for Villarreal ruled him out of the squad. Now, he faces the challenge of earning a spot on Argentina’s roster for North America 2026 and finally settling that unfinished business.

Manchester City can brush off Rodri’s comments but Chelsea’s existential angst helps explain suspension of midfielder Enzo Fernández and Rodri would quite like to move to Madrid; many people would. They both said as much in the international break, those special parts of the season when players join up with their national teams and give interviews while apparently unaware that media are global these days: a whisper on Luzo TV can soon become a hurricane in London. But Rodri will line up for Manchester City at Chelsea on Sunday, while Fernández will not, suspended by the club for “crossing a line”. It’s worth, perhaps, looking at exactly what was said. Fernández expressed disappointment at Enzo Maresca’s departure on New Year’s Day. “It … hurt a lot,” he told Luzo, “because we had a lot of identity, he gave us order, but it’s the way that football is, sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. But we always had a clear identity when it came to training, playing and obviously his departure hurt us especially in the middle of the season – it cuts everything short.” Sadness that a manager has gone surely isn’t a crime; it could even be supportive of Liam Rosenior and the difficulty of taking over a club mid-season.

Barcelona have reportedly made an offer to Robert Lewandowski, who is also being closely monitored by AC Milan and Chicago Fire. Robert Lewandowski’s future has been the subject of speculation for some time, with reported interest from AC Milan and Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer. In that context, Barcelona have reportedly submitted a formal offer. “Robert Lewandowski (37 years old) already knows FC Barcelona’s offer,” Mundo Deportivo reported this Saturday. “His agent, Pini Zahavi, was in the Catalan capital this week to meet with club representatives and learn the details of the proposal.” This update aligns with comments Joan Laporta made during his presidential campaign, when he stated his intention to keep the Polish striker for next season. However, that possibility is tied to the club’s financial limitations and the player’s advancing age. Lewandowski will turn 38 before the start of the 2026-27 campaign, and it is clear that his peak years are behind him. In fact, his role at Barcelona has gradually diminished, with more minutes increasingly going to Ferran Torres at the center forward position. Barcelona president Joan Laporta. Considering all these factors, reports indicate that Barcelona’s formal offer includes a significant salary reduction from his current deal, which is worth around $24 million per year. “The Pole’s priority was to remain at Barcelona, prioritizing the comfortable and happy life he has with his wife and two daughters in the Catalan capital, even if it means turning down more lucrative offers,” Mundo Deportivo added. Lewandowski’s other options The one-year renewal offer from Barcelona is not the only attractive option currently available to Lewandowski. In fact, earlier this week, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the striker expressed interest to AC Milan in a potential move this summer as a free agent. Other alternatives include destinations outside Europe, following in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. On one hand, Chicago Fire have been linked for months with a potential marquee signing in MLS, while reports from the Saudi Pro League indicate that several clubs are interested in the striker—likely involving significantly higher salary offers than elsewhere. Lewandowski’s numbers this season Even at 37 and past his prime, Lewandowski is still producing numbers this season that justify the interest from multiple clubs. Across La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, and UEFA Champions League, he has recorded 17 goals in 39 appearances, along with 3 assists. That amounts to an average of more than 0.50 goal contributions per game.

The stage is set for another intense Catalan derby, yet one lingering question continues to hover over the build-up: who will lead the charge when Barcelona returns to La Liga action? The stage is set for another intense Catalan derby, yet one lingering question continues to hover over the build-up: who will lead the charge when Barcelona returns to La Liga action? As the Blaugrana prepares to host Espanyol, the spotlight quietly drifts towards Lamine Yamal. Barcelona enters the clash navigating a delicate balance between domestic ambition and European survival. The fixture arrives at a moment of tension, squeezed between two defining battles, and every decision made by the coach could ripple into the remainder of the season. The timing of this derby could hardly be more complicated for Hansi Flick. Still reeling from a 2-0 deficit in its UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie, the club must quickly refocus while keeping its La Liga advantage intact. Despite holding a seven-point lead at the top of the table, the pressure has not eased. Meanwhile, Espanyol arrives in difficult form, enduring a lengthy winless streak that has stretched into double digits. Its recent results paint a worrying picture, with limited goals scored and defensive vulnerabilities exposed. Yet derbies often ignore form. For Espanyol, this is a chance to disrupt its rival’s title push and salvage pride from a difficult campaign. Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona is tackled by Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid. Will Yamal play? As the match approaches, attention inevitably returns to Lamine Yamal. The young winger is included in the starting XI, entrusted with a key role in a high-pressure encounter. As per Sport, the Spaniard felt a slight discomfort during training and left the session as a precaution. After examination by the Barcelona medical staff, nothing serious was detected, and the winger now feels fine. His inclusion carries added significance given his recent struggles. After an electric rise, Yamal has endured a frustrating 2026, finding goals harder to come by and facing increased scrutiny. This derby offers more than just three points for him. It presents a chance to reset his rhythm, silence doubts, and rediscover the confidence that made him one of the most exciting talents in the game. Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona. Barcelona vs Espanyol: Confirmed lineups Barcelona confirmed XI (4-3-3): Joan Garcia; Balde, G. Martin, Cubarsi, Araujo; Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Eric Garcia; Gavi, Ferran Torres, Yamal.
