Nashville, the rival in the Concachampions
Lionel Messi's Inter Miami will face Nashville in the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions League, known as Concachampions, which eliminated Moca from the Dominican Republic.
The team from the capital of the country qualified by a massive 7-0, after a 0-3 in the first leg and a 4-0 this Wednesday in the second leg.
Nashville brings back good memories to Inter Miami since last year the team in pink won the first title in its history by beating this team on penalties in the Leagues Cup final.

In fact, it was their victory in the Leagues Cup that gave a ticket to this international competition to the team in which the Uruguayan Luis Suárez and the Spaniards Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba also play.
The first leg of this round of 16 will be played in Nashville on March 7 while the second leg will be played in Miami on March 13.
The winner of this match will face the winner of the tie between Monterrey and Cincinnati in the quarterfinals.
The Concacaf Champions Cup would come with an extra prize for Inter Miami, since in addition to it being their first international trophy, it is also an entry way to the FIFA Club World Cup.
