Lionel Messi: How to watch & stream Inter Miami vs. Orlando City in Leagues Cup

Orlando City are surging with confidence after Wilder Cartagena’s 92nd-minute game-winner against Santos Laguna sent them atop South 2 and booked a Leagues Cup do-or-die test with Messi and Inter Miami.

While the Lions hold an all-time series lead against their Sunshine State neighbors (6W-3L-2D in 11 meetings), none of those triumphs came against Messi – arguably the greatest soccer player of all-time and a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. Head coach Oscar Pareja’s group, chasing another trophy after lifting the US Open Cup in 2022, must meet the challenge head-on.

The Lions have plenty of difference-makers of their own, most notably goalkeeper Pedro Gallese and winger Facundo Torres. Will it be enough to keep dancing or will the Lions fizzle out and turn the page to an Aug. 20 MLS match against Chicago Fire FC?
