Inter Miami
debuts this Thursday at 11 p.m. in Argentina for the
Conchampions
, a tournament that will grant a place for the 2025 Club World Cup. They will visit
Nashville SC
at Geodis Park, a stadium with capacity for 30,000 spectators, for the match first leg of the round of 16.
Streams Star+.
The team led by
Tata Martino,
which has just beaten Orlando City 5-0 in the "Clásico del sol", entered the continental competition after winning the Leagues Cup this season with Messi as a scorer and figure.
That was the first title in the history of Las Garzas, after beating Nashville in the final on penalties.
After a preseason tour without victories in which the Florida team showed a pale version, at the beginning of the Major League Soccer (MLS) season it was a different story: two victories in three games and the best of the Messi-Suárez partnership that appears again.
“We don't want to carry backpacks, but we know that we have the team to fight for the MLS and we are preparing for that,” said the Argentine star after the win in the classic.
They will also try to fight on the international level.
