Ailing Sergio Busquets has been ruled out of Saturday’s Inter Miami game against Atlanta United, meaning Lionel Messi will be without one of his most trusted teammates for the win-or-else playoff matchup.

A historic season for Inter Miami ended in a historic upset.  Messi scored his first postseason goal with a header in the 65th minute to tie the match at 2, but Inter Miami suffered a 3-2 loss in the deciding third game of their first-round series on Saturday night at Chase Stadium.

After winning the Supporters' Shield and setting a new record for the most points in a season, Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are out of the MLS Cup playoffs in the first round following a 3-2 loss to Atlanta United on Saturday.
