Can Messi play the Olympic Games in Paris and also the MLS without calendar problems?

The Argentina Under 23 National Team is Olympic, and it is a reality that it will be competing for the gold medal in the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024and the mission of the Albiceleste team led by the former Barcelona Football Club player, Javier ‘Mascherano’, is to bring the best possible team to this competition and silence the voices that do not give them any chance of winning the championship.

One of the main tasks for the aforementioned technical director is to be able to do everything possible so that the Argentine star, Lionel Andrés Messi, current player for Inter Miami of Major League Socceraccept being able to be part of the team that will represent the southern country in this new Olympic dream for the current world champions.

For Messi, the Olympic event is not something new, since at the time he was able to win the gold medal in Beijing 2008and this could be a motivation to compete again for another medal.

The big problem for Messi would be the issue of the calendars of both competitions, since, although both begin on Friday, July 26In the case of the Olympic Games, they end on Sunday, August 11, but the Leagues Cup would be until Sunday, August 25.
