When Lionel Messi hits the pitch at MetLife Stadium tonight, it’ll be a full-circle moment.
Back in 2016, Argentina faced Chile in the Copa America finals at MetLife, and a missed penalty kick from Messi led to both Chile’s overall victory and Messi’s temporary retirement from international soccer.
