Egyptian giants Al Ahly take on hosts Inter Miami in this enticing Group A encounter.

Al Ahly have impressed in their domestic league so far, currently riding high at the top of the Egyptian Premier League losing just one of their first eight matches.

Jose Riveiro's side also impressed in their recent 1-1 friendly draw with Mexican side Pachuca, unlucky not to come away with a win.

Miami meanwhile boast some of the best attacking talent in the world and are fresh off the back of a 5-1 hammering of Columbus Crew.

There really is only one sheriff in town for this evening's game.

Lionel Messi is widely considered the greatest footballer of all time and has won everything the game has to offer.

At 37, the Argentina international is clearly in the autumn of his career but despite his advancing years is still producing enviable goal involvements numbers for the Herons.

Messi has six goals and three assists so far in 2025 and don't be surprised if he adds to that later today.
