Will Lionel Messi play for Inter Miami vs Vancouver Whitecaps in Concacaf Champions Cup 2025 semi-final second-leg?

The Herons come into this match two goals down.

When Inter Miami CF take the field against Vancouver Whitecaps FC tonight, they have a significant assignment ahead of them.

The Herons must score at least two goals to have a chance of moving on after losing 2-0 in the away leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semi-final at BC Place in Vancouver. With the away goals rule in place, Miami would require four goals if Vancouver scored one.

It will certainly be a monumental task for the Herons. But they have great attacking power to turn the second tie around and book their place in the final of the competition.

We have witnessed this in the past, how Lionel Messi’s side has been able to defy the odds in every match. Once again, they will be looking to prove their mettle in tonight’s match.

Inter Miami will have to avoid conceding a goal, which could further make their job challenging to mount a comeback, and Javier Mascherano will have to line up a tight defensive setup.

Meanwhile, in attack, they have the likes of Luis Suarez and Messi to make an impact and hope to see off the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Will Lionel Messi play tonight?

Messi will be in the lineup to play tonight. His presence will be most important on the field to pull all the strings to create goalscoring chances and also find the back of the net.

Amid the fitness concerns, the Argentine has been at the height of his performance. He has been able to deliver a brilliant display in almost every match he has played.

The former Barcelona player has starred in six Concacaf Champions Cup matches. He has scored five goals, which highlights his importance and ability to influence the game in the attack. The Herons will need Messi more than ever tonight.
