Messi has 'extra motivation' for Inter Miami vs. LAFC match in Concacaf Champions Cup
Messi has 'extra motivation' for Inter Miami vs. LAFC match in Concacaf Champions Cup Show Caption Hide Caption 'You get to play with the greatest player in the world' - Picault explains what makes Inter Miami special Fafa Picault says Messi is 'the greatest player in the world' and working with him makes Inter Miami unique Stats Perform Video FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Lionel Messi and Inter Miami have their backs against the wall if they plan to further advance in the Concacaf Champions Cup tournament. Inter Miami will host Los Angeles FC on Wednesday night at Chase Stadium in the second leg of their Champions Cup quarterfinal series – needing to overcome a 1-0 deficit in aggregate score to advance to the semifinals. They also must do so without a World Cup champion: No, not Messi. He's healthy and expected to play. But Inter Miami will be without legendary midfielder Sergio Busquets – the 2010 World Cup champion from Spain who won't play after picking up his second yellow card in the first leg in Los Angeles last Wednesday, an inherit suspension for the second leg. It's a good thing Inter Miami has another legendary midfielder. Messi scored twice during Inter Miami's 1-1 draw against Toronto FC on 'Sunday Night Soccer' earlier this week, but one goal was disallowed after he tripped a defender. However, he was held scoreless in Los Angeles last Wednesday, failing to convert on three free-kick opportunities against LAFC in the first leg. 'Obviously, for great players like him, these kinds of matches are an extra motivation,' Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said of Messi, his former teammate, Tuesday. 'I can imagine that he will try, as always, from his leadership position on the court, to contribute everything he has, not only to be able to contribute to the victory, but also to help his teammates to be able to do so." The Champions Cup is one of five trophies Messi and Inter Miami will compete for in 2025, but Inter Miami needs to score at least two goals and keep LAFC scoreless – among several possible outcomes – to advance. They trail after LAFC's Nathan Ordaz, a 21-year-old homegrown talent, scored a goal in the 57th minute last week. Inter Miami was eliminated by LIGA MX standout Monterrey in the quarterfinals last year, and have never reached the semifinal or final in the Champions Cup. 'It is the most beautiful thing about football, to be able to play this type of game, knowing that being able to get through this would be a historic event for the club to reach the Champions Cup semifinals in Concacaf for the first time in our history. So, in that sense, I think that rather than pressure, it's excitement,' Mascherano said Tuesday. How to watch Inter Miami vs. LAFC Champions Cup on TV, live stream? The match will be available in English on FS1, and in Spanish via TUDN and ViX. What time is Inter Miami vs. LAFC Champions Cup match? The match begins at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT, 9 p.m. in Argentina). Yes, Messi is expected to play for Inter Miami in the match. Inter Miami vs. LAFC Champions Cup scoring scenarios Inter Miami was scoreless on the road in last Wednesday's first leg, failing to take advantage of the tournament's 'away goals' tiebreaker rule. Goals scored by the away club count as double in tiebreaking scenarios. So, if LAFC scores a goal at Inter Miami on Wednesday, Inter Miami would need to score at least three goals to advance. If the score is 1-1 at the end of regulation, both teams would play two 15-minute periods of extra time and a penalty shootout if necessary. Here's a breakdown of how the scores in Wednesday's match will affect the series: How are MLS teams doing in Champions Cup? Major League Soccer has four teams remaining in the Champions Cup: Inter Miami, Los Angeles FC, reigning MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy and the Vancouver Whitecaps. On Tuesday night: The Galaxy will visit Tigres in Monterrey (9 p.m. ET on FS1), after a scoreless draw at home in the first leg. Liga MX's Club America and Cruz Azul will settle their scoreless quarterfinal at 11:30 p.m. ET on FS1). After Inter Miami-LAFC, Vancouver will visit Pumas on Wednesday in Mexico City (10:30 p.m. ET on FS1), following a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week. Inter Miami/LAFC would meet the Vancouver/Pumas winner in the semifinal, while Galaxy/Tigres will see America/Cruz Azul. Messi, Inter Miami upcoming schedule

Atlanta United vs. Inter Miami: Time, TV, how to watch Messi play on Sunday Night Soccer
Atlanta United vs. Inter Miami: Time, TV, how to watch Messi play on Sunday Night Soccer Show Caption Hide Caption Messi 'never imagined' he would achieve what he has Lionel Messi says his dream was only ever to be a professional, and thanked God for all his success Stats Perform Video Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will take on Atlanta United on Apple TV's Sunday Night Soccer at 7 tonight. It will be a rematch from a first-round matchup of last year's MLS Cup playoffs, which saw Atlanta oust Inter Miami – the Supporters' Shield winners that year. Messi traveled with Inter Miami to Atlanta, but it's unclear whether he will start or come off the bench during the Eastern Conference match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said the club helped Messi avoid a possible injury with his three-game layoff to begin the month, before he returned to action last Thursday in the second half of their Concacaf Champions Cup game against Jamaica Cavalier FC. "The idea was that he play 30-35 minutes in Jamaica to have good feelings again. In the end, we were able to find the time to do it well,' Mascherano said Saturday. "We tried to take away from the overload Messi had, so that it wouldn't go further than that. We tried to handle it in the best way. "Luckily, we were able to control it and it didn't turn into an injury or much more. … He's better and we decided to start giving him minutes. There's no secret in this.'

The match begins at 7 p.m. ET (8 p.m. in Argentina). Is Messi playing tonight in Atlanta? An official word is expected when Inter Miami announces its starting lineup about an hour before the match begins. How did Messi fare in his last time out? Messi entered in the 53rd minute to an ovation from fans at Jamaica Kingston Stadium on Thursday night, playing until the final whistle, and scoring a goal in the final minute of the match. Messi appeared healthy and aggressive, as his run behind a line of defenders and chip shot in front of the goalkeeper in the 92nd minute helped Inter Miami advance past Cavalier 4-0 on aggregate score in the Champions Cup round-of-16 matchup. How much time has Messi missed this season? It was Messi's first game since Feb. 25, when he helped Inter Miami dispatch Sporting Kansas City in the Champions Cup first round. Messi did not travel to Inter Miami's 4-1 win against the Houston Dynamo on March 2, and did not play in Inter Miami's first leg against Cavalier FC on March 6. He was expected to come off the bench in Inter Miami's 1-0 win against Charlotte on March 9, but did not want to risk Messi while playing with 10 players after an early red card. Messi predominately played in three matches during a six-day stretch from Feb. 19-25, and eight matches in a 40-day span from Jan. 18 to Feb. 14, which included five preseason matches to start the year. Messi to join Argentine national team for FIFA window After the Atlanta match, Messi is expected to join the Argentine national team for two matches: Argentina visits Uruguay on March 21, then Argentina hosts Brazil on March 25. Inter Miami returns to MLS action at home on March 29, hosting Philadelphia Union.
