The Argentine star Lionel Messi is back and with it, Monterrey will have to face this serious threat in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Concachampions against the Striped from Monterrey, next Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in central Mexico at the BBVA stadium.
Messi reappeared with a goal in Inter Miami’s 2-2 draw vs. Colorado Rapids in the activity of date seven of the MLS, which sets the tone to ensure that he will be ready for the match against the Mexican team Monterrey, which in recent days has generated too much controversy due to the unsportsmanlike events that occurred at the end of the last game Wednesday between the Florida team and the Monterrey team.
Without a doubt, with the presence of the captain of the Argentina teamthe panorama for Inter Miami changes too much, since it gave the impression that Monterrey did everything possible to not be able to face the Argentine star, who was absent in the first leg of the Concachampions quarterfinals due to an injury muscular.
Lionel Messi had not seen action since March 13 due to a hamstring injury. For this reason, he entered at the beginning of the second half and revolutionized his team, but in the end he could not prevent the Colorado State team from reaching a 2-2 draw at the end of the match.
The Argentine international equalized in the 58th minute, After the Brazilian Rafael Navarro had put the Rapids ahead on the scoreboard, Lionel Messi then tied and in the 60th minute Leo Afonso managed to put the Florida team ahead 2-1. But Cole Bassett ruined the plans of the team led by Gerardo “Tata” Martino, by scoring the 2-2 tie goal.
It is true that Inter Miami decided to bet on next Wednesday’s game against Monterrey by leaving his other stars on the bench, such as the Uruguayan Luis Suárez, as well as the Spaniards Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who had a direct participation in the unsportsmanlike events of the last duel against the Rayados when he was about to attack José Antonio Noriega , sports director of the Mexican team.
So after this MLS game, Inter Miami will go all out in search of revenge against Monterrey, against whom there were many pending accounts, both in sports and in other areas and which it is hoped will not trigger other types of events.
