Messi Reportedly Misses Inter Miami’s 2-1 Leagues Cup Defeat to Monterrey

Messi Reportedly Misses Inter Miami’s 2-1 Leagues Cup Defeat to Monterrey

Inter Miami lost 2-1 to Monterrey in the Leagues Cup after Diego Rossi scored a 90th-minute winner. Reports said Lionel Messi missed the match after returning to Argentina following the reported death of his father, Jorge Messi. Inter Miami had not confirmed when the Argentine forward would return. Rodrigo De Paul gave Miami the lead in the 32nd minute and revealed Messi’s No. 10 shirt in tribute during his celebration. Monterrey responded through Hugo Cuypers before Rossi’s late goal completed the comeback. The result leaves Miami under pressure to qualify from the group stage, with both teams set to play their final group matches on Wednesday.

Do you think the team had a clear alternative plan without Messi, or did they mainly struggle to create chances?

A 90th-minute winner is a painful way to lose, and the reported family situation makes the bigger picture feel more important than one match.

It is still worth being careful with the reports, since Inter Miami had not confirmed when Messi would return.

Inter Miami need to focus on improving late-game concentration while they wait for clarity on Messi's availability.
