Debuting in the continental competition, the Florida team entered straight into the round of 16 as champions of last year’s Leagues Cup. Thus, his first opponent was compatriot Nashville. The first game, played in Nashville, ended in a 2-2 draw, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez scoring for the visitors. In the return game, the home team won 3-1, with goals from Suárez, Messi and Robert Taylor.
For the match, coach Tata Martino will have defenders Serhiy Kryvtsov and Ian Fray, midfielders Federico Redondo, Benjamin Cremaschi and Facundo Farias, and striker Robbie Robinson, all injured, as casualties. Furthermore, Messi is still not 100% physically and is doubtful for the match.
On the Monterrey side, coach Fernando Ortiz will be absent from defender Áxel Grijalva, who is recovering from a serious knee injury. The Mexican team had to get past Comunicaciones of Guatemala and Cincinnati FC to reach the quarterfinals of the Concachampions. In fact, Cincinnati is the current leader of the MLS Eastern Conference, the same as Inter Miami.
In Liga MX, Monterrey occupies second place, tied on 28 points with leader América. In the last round, the team suffered its first defeat of the season, losing 2-0 at home to Guadalajara.
