Former Manchester City and Ireland national team player Terry Filan commented on Lionel Messi's performance in the MLS league. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Filan, if Lionel really wants to feel the joy of the game, he needs to move to a place where there is serious competition. Currently, the game is too easy for him.

It is enough to look at the videos and statistics, which resemble a PlayStation game. Filan advised Messi to think about what he wants to do in the World Cup if he is indeed planning to play for the Argentina national team.

This season, the 38-year-old Argentine player has played 29 matches for Inter Miami, scoring 24 goals and providing 8 assists. These statistics demonstrate his effectiveness in the MLS league.

In Terry Filan's opinion, it is important for Messi to face strong competition for his game to develop further. This will help enhance his global success.
