Wednesday, April 10, BBVA stadium field. He Monterrey Soccer Club received a visit from Inter Miami of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez for the match corresponding to the second leg of the quarterfinals in the CONCACAF Champions CUP.
The first leg ended in a 2-1 victory for those from Cerro de la Silla, with goals from Maxi Meza and Jorge: 'Corcho' Rodríguez, who missed the return match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. A significant loss for those commanded by Fernando: 'Tano' Ortíz.
For the second leg, Lionel Messi started, which, it was thought, would be bad news for the Gang… but no. With goals from Brandon Vázquez, Germán Berterame and Jesús Gallardo, the Albiazul team defeated Inter Miami 3-1, who scored the goal of honor through Diego Gómez Amarilla. Jordi Alba was sent off in the seventy-eighth minute for a double yellow card.
The Football Club is, without a doubt, the number one candidate to win the Liga MX and also the CONCACAF Champions CUP, where it has been 'king' for more than ten years, becoming three-time champions and even winning a final against its staunch rival.
The title is the goal to achieve, and, however, the sweet that everyone is chasing in this edition of the CONCACAF Champions CUP, which is the 2025 Club World Cup, has already been assured by Rayados, so the title would only represent, for the albiazul cause, a matter of honor and hierarchy.
For now, those led by Fernando: 'Tano' Ortíz, must eliminate the Columbus Crew in the semifinals. The first leg will take place on Tuesday, April 23, in Ohio City. The return will be defined on the field of the BBVA stadium, on Tuesday, April 30, in a nice gift in its day for all the striped children.
