Lionel Messi and Inter Miami were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. After the 1:2 in the first leg, which the world champion from Argentina missed due to injury, Miami lost 1:3 in Mexico. The hosts took the lead after 31 minutes and increased the lead in the 58th and 64th minutes. Diego Gomez’s 1:3 in the 86th minute after preparatory work by the eight-time world footballer came too late for the turnaround. Miami was already outnumbered after a yellow-red card for Jordi Alba (78′). The other two former FC Barcelona professionals, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets, also played from the start. Julian Gressel, who was born in Franconia, was also on the starting line-up.
Messi still has two chances for the title with Miami this season. In the league, the team is in third place in the Eastern Conference, plus the Leagues Cup that takes place in the summer.
