Inter Miami and Lionel Messi are still on their dream to win the Leagues Cup.

Lionel Messi does not stop shining, Inter Miami received Charlotte FC at home, at the DRV PNK Stadium. The match, despite the fact that they were already in the quarterfinals, was one of the easiest for Lionel Messi's team. With 4-0, Inter Miami gets into the semifinals of the Leagues Cup, which will be played against the Philadelhpia Union.

Philadelphia Union beat Querétaro 2-1 on Friday night and now the only Mexican team left in the race is Monterrey, which eliminated Los Angeles FC and will now face Nashville. Now, the meeting between Inter Miami and Philadelphia will be this Tuesday, August 15, at Subaru Park. That is, the Garzas will play as a visitor for the second time.

The only game that Messi did not play at home to date was against FC Dallas, a match in which they suffered more than necessary and were on the verge of being eliminated in Texas. However, an unusual goal against and a masterpiece of '10' from a free kick forced the tie at the end and the pink franchise ended up qualifying on penalties.
