Inter Miami is in a mini-scoring drought.
But its defense and goalkeeping have been stellar in back-to-back scoreless ties against Nashville and Charlotte.
Can they score and advance on Wednesday night against Nashville in the decisive leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 and continue their pursuit of another coveted trophy?
Inside Inter Miami’s latest episode discusses Lionel Messi’s chase for career goal No. 900 coinciding with this crucial matchup and the need to break Miami’s recent scoring funk.
We have comments from both Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano and Nashville coach BJ Callaghan about the game and Mascherano speaking on a number of topics including the red card he was issued at the end of a very combative league contest against Charlotte last week in which several regulars including Messi rested.
Mascherano talks about the decision to rest Messi ahead of Wednesday’s big game vs. Nashville and we hear from goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair about how his acclimation to the team is going.
That, and some World Cup updates, as we look ahead to one of the biggest games of this young season for Inter Miami.
