The match between Peru and Argentina in Miami is shrouded in uncertainty due to the possibility that Lionel Messi, the undisputed star of the Argentine team, might not participate in the game.

Lionel Scaloni's announcement that players with less playing time will be the starters adds an unexpected twist to the anticipation of the match, especially considering Messi's physical discomfort and the potential injury. This situation has raised doubts about whether the stadium will be filled and has led to increased scrutiny of ticket prices by fans.

With the latest news about Messi possibly not playing a single minute, fans are now hesitant to risk paying the asking price for the remaining tickets.

The presence of resale tickets, a practice officially sanctioned in the United States, has further stirred the pot, with prices ranging from $370 to $1500 on Ticketmaster and from $340 to $2400, reflecting the intense demand to see Messi in action.

The uncertainty about whether Messi will finally take the field, even for a brief ten minutes, has captured the attention of supporters and led many to make considerable investments to avoid missing the chance to see their idol live. Besides these expenses, fans must also consider costs associated with flights, accommodation, and other logistics to attend the match.

This scenario reminds us of the atmosphere before the Vancouver Whitecaps game, where the expectation of seeing Messi generated a series of reactions, including protests represented by flags against him. Rumors that an individual had paid a staggering sum to secure a seat in the stadium underscore the magnetism and controversy surrounding Messi, as well as the passion he ignites among fans worldwide. The uncertainty regarding his participation in the Miami match adds an extra layer of intrigue to this encounter that has captured the attention and interest of many.
