Just steps away from Inter Miami CF’s stadium in Fort Lauderdale sits a small airport. Yet, on the pitch on Wednesday, Lionel Messi’s Herons saw their dreams of hoisting a Concacaf Champions Cup trophy take off into the night sky.

Inter Miami will need another comeback to advance to the Concacaf Champions Cup final after losing the first leg 2-0 to the Vancouver Whitecaps. For Miami's star studded cast, this is a tournament that they expect to win and getting knocked out at this stage would go down as a disappointment,

Messi was held scoreless for a fourth straight game, and Vancouver romped to the CONCACAF Champions Cup final, 5-1 on aggregate.
