Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba have been teammates for 12 seasons. If that’s going to continue after this year, it’ll evidently mean they’re both staying with Inter Miami.

Lionel Messi tried but could not snap a 3-3 tie between Inter Miami and host San Jose on Wednesday at soldout PayPal Park.

Forward Luis Suarez, who missed the 4-1 loss at Minnesota United on Saturday due to a personal trip, had not rejoined the team as of Monday and will also be out Wednesday, according to coach Javier Mascherano, who did a remote interview with the media from San Jose, where the team is preparing for the game.
