Inter Miami earns ticket to quarterfinals of ‘ConcaChampions’ with victory over Nashville
Inter Miami secured their spot in the quarterfinals of the ‘ConcaChampions’ with a 3-1 victory over Nashville, thanks to goals from Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. However, the win was clouded by Messi’s injury during the match.
Despite the victory, Inter Miami coach Martino expressed concern over Messi’s injury, stating that the Argentine star is unlikely to be available for the upcoming game on Saturday. “It is not about replacing a footballer, it is about replacing the best footballer of all,” Martino said.
Looking ahead to the next opponent, Martino highlighted Monterrey, Tigres, and América as the powerful teams from Mexico. “Monterrey has very good national and international players. We will analyze the opponent we face,” he said.
Martino also emphasized the need to focus on the upcoming game against DC United before thinking about the future rival in the ‘ConcaChampions’. “Now there is no room to think about the future rival, but we have to play in two days,” he added.
Inter Miami fans will be eagerly watching to see how the team fares in the quarterfinals and how they cope with Messi’s potential absence due to injury.
