Javier Mascherano confirmed that Lionel Messi is fit to face Atlanta United after his recent performance scoring against Cavalier in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Despite being absent over the past few games, Messi's return was successful, contributing to Miami's 2-0 win and their position as unbeaten in MLS this season. Meanwhile, Atlanta United faces challenges with recent performances, struggling to score. Coach Ronny Deila emphasizes that the upcoming match is just as important as any other, highlighting the need for consistent improvement from his team.
We knew Leo wasn't playing for the last three or four games, obviously, we wanted him to play but had to find the right moment to send him to the pitch.
He felt very good [against Cavalier], he scored, Jamaican people could see him, so it was a great night for everyone.
It's three points and we want to win every game that we're in. Of course, it's an exciting game with history that makes it even better.
I see a lot of improvement from where I started and a lot of players with ability. We've had some good moments and tough moments, but that's what we expected.
