Overview
- The quarterfinal kicks off Wednesday, August 20 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale and streams exclusively on Apple TV via MLS Season Pass.
- Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said Lionel Messi trained separately and is not ruled out, keeping his participation a game-time question.
- Tigres arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Monday and held a full training session at the Florida Blue Training Center as part of their on-site preparations.
- Star power features prominently with Miami’s Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez against Tigres led by Ángel Correa under coach Guido Pizarro.
- Correa said he will face friends on the opposing side but insisted Tigres will go out to win, recalling that Tigres beat a Messi-less Miami in last year’s Leagues Cup meeting in Houston.
