Inter Miami faced a tough challenge against Monterrey in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal, with Lionel Messi sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Despite a strong first half performance, Inter Miami ultimately fell 2-1 to Monterrey.
Messi, who has been out of action for four games now, was unable to play in the match as he continues to recover from a right hamstring injury sustained on March 13. His return date remains uncertain, with Inter Miami set to face Monterrey in the second leg on April 10.
