Paris Olympics: Lionel Messi opts out, citing post-Copa America fatigue

Argentina are gearing up to clinch a third gold in Olympics as they head for the 2024 Paris Games, set to kick off on July 24. On June 20, Argentina will take on Canada at the Copa America and the Inter Miami hero, Messi, remains focused on representing his nation there. He must skip more than 5 Inter games due to the nation's call. And if he heads to Paris, Inter Miami will also be sans Messi at the Leagues Cup, where they won the title last year.
