FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — He’s coming back to Foxborough, reportedly.

All signs point to Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi coming with the team to play against the New England Revolution in Wednesday night’s (7:30) MLS contest at Gillette Stadium.

The last time Inter Miami visited New England, on April 27, 2024, a record-breaking crowd of 65,612 fans was treated to a first-minute goal from Revolution forward Tomás Chancalay less than 50 seconds into the match. Miami responded with two goals and one assist from Lionel Messi, while Luis Suarez added a late goal to lead the Herons to a victory. The sold-out event was the largest crowd in Revolution club history to date and it was only the third time Gillette Stadium surpassed 64,000 fans for any soccer match.

New England welcomes Inter Miami to Gillette for their first of two meetings this regular season boasting one of the league’s stingiest defenses and most in-form attacking players. Revolution captain Carles Gil, the 2021 MLS MVP and a two-time MLS Best XI midfielder, has totaled 14 goal contributions (7 goals, 7 assists) in the team’s last 15 games, registering an assist in three straight.

Wednesday’s match also marks a reunion for forward Leo Campana, who faces his former club for the first time since joining the Revolution in a blockbuster trade last December. Campana scored 32 goals in 100 overall appearances with Inter Miami from 2022-24.

Inter Miami travels to Foxborough after resuming MLS play on Saturday with a 4-1 win at CF Montréal, highlighted by two goals and an assist from their leading scorer, Messi. Miami also features accomplished stars Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets, all coached by first-year Head Coach Javier Mascherano. The Herons recently made history as the first MLS club to reach the knockout stage of the FIFA Club World Cup, before falling to Paris Saint-Germain in the Round of 16.
