Semifinal Qualification

"After eliminating LAFC, Inter Miami secured their spot in the semifinals of the continental tournament," declared coach Javier Mascherano. This achievement is not only a testament to the team's talent but also to Messi's influence on the field. "At this stage, they will face the Canadian team that knocked out Pumas UNAM," Mascherano added, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming match.

Upcoming Matches

"The first leg will be on April 24 in Canada, with the return match on April 30 in Miami," an official Concacaf statement announced. Both matches will be available to watch on Disney+, ensuring that fans across Latin America won't miss a moment of the action.

Messi's Super Plays

"The match against Chicago Fire was lackluster, but Messi tried to unlock it with three free kicks that hit the crossbar," a soccer analyst commented. Despite not scoring, Messi showcased his skill with a masterful nutmeg against Pineda. "Leo was caught off guard more than once and seemed frustrated," the analyst added, highlighting that even on less brilliant days, Messi remains a central figure.

 

 

Transfer Rumors: Kevin De Bruyne

"It wasn't the American press that started the rumor about Inter Miami's interest in signing Kevin De Bruyne," a source close to the club revealed. The English press was the first to mention that the MLS franchise, owned by David Beckham, might be interested in the Belgian midfielder. "Kevin De Bruyne's public confirmation of his departure from Manchester City at the end of the current season only fueled the rumors," the source added, suggesting that Inter Miami might be planning a high-profile reinforcement.

 

Impact on MLS and Latin America

"The draw prevents Javier Mascherano's team from climbing to the top of the Eastern Conference standings in the MLS," a league spokesperson reported. However, the result aligns with the match's development. "If either team deserved all three points, it was Chicago Fire," the spokesperson added, emphasizing that Messi's presence continues to attract record attendance and global attention.

According to an article from The Athletic, "Messi's Influence on Inter Miami and the MLS is Unprecedented" (2025), Messi's arrival has transformed not only Inter Miami but the entire league.
