Messi and Inter Miami Eliminated from CONCACAF Champions Cup After Loss to LAFC
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami’s journey in the CONCACAF Champions Cup has come to an end after Los Angeles FC knocked them out.
Miami, who had been unbeaten this season, suffered their first loss in the quarter-final first leg, falling 1-0 to LAFC. Nathan Ordaz secured the win for his team with a decisive goal in the 57th minute.
With this result, LAFC heads into the second leg in Florida with a narrow advantage.
Inter Miami had been in top form, going nine games without a loss across all competitions. However, their night in Los Angeles ended in frustration, with Messi missing a late free kick in stoppage time, sending his shot over the bar.
LAFC held firm to claim a well-earned victory, leaving Miami with an uphill battle to turn things around.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
