Inter Miami punched their tickets to the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16, where the reigning Concacaf Caribbean Cup champions are waiting.
Although Inter Miami only managed a 2–2 draw in their opening match of their 2025 MLS campaign, they cruised past Sporting Kansas City in Round One of the Concacaf Champions Cup. Lionel Messi scored two goals across the two legs, helping his team eliminate the Western Conference side 4–1 on aggregate.
Now, the Herons must prepare for the round of 16 amid the beginning of the MLS season. Miami has their sights set on winning five trophies this season under new head coach Javier Mascherano, but they can only keep that dream alive if they get past their next opponents in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
