Yesterday Lionel Messi made history by winning the first official edition of the Leagues Cup. After his double (one in a penalty shootout), the Argentine managed to put Inter Miami in the sights of the whole world. Inter Miami also achieved the first title in its history.

Although many might believe that what comes now is to try to get the club out of the last position in the Eastern Conference of the MLS to try to enter the Playoffs, the truth is that we will have to wait for that. First, those led by Gerardo Martino, led by Leo, will have to face the semifinal match of the US Open Cup against Cincinnati, a clash that will take place this Wednesday, August 23 at the TQL Stadium.

Now, the reality is that the rival that is coming to Inter is the leader of the same area of Major League Soccer in which they are last, so it does not seem that it will be easy in the previous one. However, in the other key appear Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake, two much more accessible teams.

Inter Miami can define the US Open Cup title at home

The Garzas are coming off their first trophy on the road against Nashville, but that could change in the cup. The decisive match will be played on September 27 at a venue to be defined. If Inter eliminate Cincinnati and fight for the title against Houston Dynamo, they will again seek glory away from home, but if their opponent is Real Salt Lake, the final will take place at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
