Winner of the Leagues Cup last year, Inter Miami was eliminated in the round of 16 this season by Columbus (3-2). Without Lionel Messi, who is still injured in the ankle.
The Leagues Cup and Inter Miami are over. Last season, the Floridians won this competition, which allowed Lionel Messi to open his record in the United States. This time, the adventure ended in the round of 16.
Without Messi, who has been out with an ankle injury since the Copa America final, Inter Miami had made it through the group stage of this Leagues Cup (which pits MLS clubs against teams from the Mexican championship) before eliminating Toronto in the first round of the final phase. On Tuesday evening, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets’ teammates led 2-0 on the Columbus Crew pitch before losing 3-2, conceding three goals between the 67th and 80th minutes.
When will Messi return?
For Inter Miami, there is only the championship left to play this season. Tata Martino’s team is off to a good start, since it occupies the top of the Eastern Conference, and should therefore approach the playoffs in a good position.
It remains to be seen when Lionel Messi will be able to return to competition. There is still no return date announced for the Argentinian, who has been sidelined since the Albiceleste’s victory in the Copa America on July 15. Which does not prevent him from having a good time with his family.
