Vancouver Whitecaps CEO, Axel Schuster, confirmed the news that Argentine sensation Messi, along with teammates Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez, will not be making the trip to Vancouver for the much-anticipated game.

Messi’s absence will undoubtedly impact the record-breaking crowd expected at BC Place with more than 50,000 tickets already sold for the match, setting a new club record.

Lionel Messi, who joined Inter Miami CF last summer following his legendary career at FC Barcelona where he led Argentina to World Cup glory, has been a standout player in the MLS.
