On the night of Thursday, April 3, LAFC will face Inter Miami in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-finals. For the “Herons,” this is a chance to make history.
Details: Lionel Messi and his teammates have the opportunity to take a crucial step toward the semi-finals of the Champions Cup. This is uncharted territory for Inter Miami, as they’ve never reached this stage before. A win would be a historic milestone for the club.
Last season, Inter Miami was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Monterrey, suffering a 2-5 defeat. However, this time, Messi is available to play—unlike last year when an injury kept him from participating in the matches. Fortunately for Miami fans, the Argentine star is fully fit and ready to contribute.
In the Round of 16, Inter Miami delivered a dominant 4-0 victory over Cavaly, with Messi shining in the performance by scoring five goals and providing two assists. Luis Suarez also played a key role, contributing in both matches.
