Inter Miami lost 2-1 to Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final first leg. Lionel Messi could not play in the match. Even in the return leg there are concerns about his game. If he is ultimately unable to play and Inter Miami are eliminated in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-finals, Messi will miss out on the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
FIFA Club World Cup will be held in 2025 with 32 teams. Where a total of four teams from the CONCACAF region will have the opportunity to participate. Three teams have already been determined. One team will emerge as the champion of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. If Inter Miami can win the championship, they will get a ticket to the Club World Cup. Where Messi will get the chance to play in a multi-continental tournament for the last time. But that chance is fading. Now it remains to be seen whether Miami can turn around in the return leg.
However, another US team will get a chance to host the FIFA Club World Cup. But the process of how that party will be selected has not yet been announced.
