Messi v América at Estadio Azteca? Here’s how it could happen | OneFootball

Much has been said about the possible visit of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Azteca Stadium when the Mexican National Team faces Portugal this March 28.

But it is likely that Lionel Messi, one of the best players in history will also visit the Azteca Stadium just a couple of weeks later.

How could this situation occur?

This visit could happen in the Quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup; Club América and Inter Miami share a bracket, so if both clubs advance to the aforementioned round, they will face each other.

Inter Miami hosts Nashville this Wednesday at 05:00PM and needs a victory to advance to the next round, while América will do the same with Philadelphia but at 07:00PM and would advance with a win or even a draw, as they have a global advantage.

When would this match take place?

The date would depend entirely on what happens this Wednesday, as it will be decided who closes the series at home, with an overall table of the results they had in the Round of 16.

Currently, América has three points and a difference of +1, while Inter has one point with no goal difference, so if the Eagles defeat Philadelphia in the second leg, they would ensure closing the Quarterfinal series at home.

But if América ends up drawing in the second leg and Inter Miami defeats Nashville by 2-0 or more goals, they would have the second leg at home.

The first leg of the Quarterfinals is scheduled to be played between April 7 and 9, while the second leg will be between April 14 and 16.

Regardless of the date or the opponent; if América advances, they will be playing at the Azteca Stadium, now called Estadio Banorte.
