What result do Inter Miami and Messi need to advance to the Concacaf Champions League final?

In the second leg of the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals, Inter Miami will face Vancouver tonight at home. Javier Mascherano 's team lost the first leg in Canada 2-0, so they need an epic comeback. Lionel Messi will start today. El Intransigente provides the time, TV channel, and lineups for Inter Miami vs. Vancouver .

The match will kick off at 9:00 PM and will be broadcast exclusively on Disney+. It will also feature commentary by Sebastián Vignolo . Unlike Apple TV, this time it can be watched for a nominal fee.

Javier Mascherano will field the following formation: Óscar Ustari; Marcelo Weigandt, Maxi Falcón, Noah Allen, Jordi Alba; Tadeo Allende, Federico Redondo, Sergio Busquets, Telasco Segovia; Lionel Messi, and Luis Suárez . As you can see, it's a 4-4-2 with Messi as the starter.

Vancouver, meanwhile, will be looking for victory with the following lineup: Yohei Takaoka; Édier Ocampo, Tristan Blackmon, Ranko Veselinovi, Tate Johnson; Sebastian Berhalter, Andrés Cubas, Pedro Vite; Daniel Ríos, Brian White and Ali Ahmed .

An important point to note ahead of the rematch is that an away goal still counts double in the event of a tie in CONCACAF. Therefore, if Vancouver scores just one goal, Inter would be forced to win by a score of no less than 4-1 . That means they would have to win by at least a three-goal margin.

For many, Inter has no chance of advancing to the final. Although they lost the first leg of the quarterfinals to Los Angeles 1-0, they managed to turn the series around with a 3-1 win in Florida . So there's some hope.

Should they pull off a comeback and advance to the final, Inter would play against Tigres or Cruz Azul on Sunday, June 1, in the US, Canada, or Mexico . It's worth remembering that the champion will qualify for the 2029 Club World Cup.
