FOXBORO - In front of their largest home crowd of the season and facing Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF, the New England Revolution fell just short Wednesday night. Early mistakes gave Messi two goals and while the Revs got one back, they couldn’t salvage the draw and fell 2-1.

For many fans who helped fill Gillette Stadium, the New England Revolution hosting soccer superstar Lionel Messi marked the highlight of the summer.

There was no indication Messi, 38, needed to move any faster, or, at times, even move at all in 2-1 win over Revolution.
