Messi’s Inter Miami eye qualification v Nashville in Concachampions | OneFootball

Mascherano's team returns to action after the 0-0 draw in the first leg and will look to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Inter Miami CF will face Nashville this Wednesday at Chase Stadium for the second leg of the round of 16 in the Concachampions. The match will start at 20:00 (Argentina time) and can be watched on Disney+. After the goalless draw in the first leg, the series is completely open.

The Florida team will try to be strong at home to secure their qualification. With Messi rested and focused on the goal, the star from Rosario will aim to get closer to the 900 goals mark in his career. The team, now led by Javier Mascherano, needs to improve its collective performance after the goalless draw against Charlotte FC in the Major League Soccer, a match in which neither Messi nor Rodrigo De Paul participated.

The Herons are counting on the support of the fans and the quality of their stars to break the opponent's defensive order. With names like De Paul, Germán Berterame, and Messi himself, the team will seek to set the pace from the start to avoid surprises.

On the other hand, Nashville SC arrives in great form. The team led by Brian Callaghan remains undefeated at the start of the season and is in rhythm after overcoming a previous phase in the tournament. With Cristian Espinoza as one of their main offensive threats, they will try to strike as visitors.

With the series tied and everything to play for, Inter Miami will go for the qualification at home, while Nashville will look to seize any opportunity to surprise. At stake is a spot in the quarterfinals of the region's most important tournament.

Inter Miami: Dayne St. Clair; Facundo Mura, Maximiliano Falcón, Micael, Noah Allen; Yannick Bright, Rodrigo De Paul, Mateo Silvetti; Lionel Messi, Telasco Segovia, Germán Berterame. Coach: Javier Mascherano.
