Inter Miami might have simply received a caution in the game. Concacaf The Champions Cup — the future is here.

Even with stars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets, Miami couldn’t overturn a 2-0 first-leg disadvantage against the Vancouver Whitecaps, ultimately falling 3-1 in the second match at their own stadium for an overall score of 5-1.

Miami managed to score first—and crucially, early—in the second leg. Messi set up Suarez, who subsequently assisted Alba for the goal in the ninth minute.

However, despite having numerous possessions and attempts at goal, Miami simply couldn't secure the vital equalizing score that could have salvaged their position.

In contrast, the latter part of the game was dominated by Vancouver, thanks to their top-performing athletes. American forward Brian White sealed the deal with a crucial goal in the 51st minute, and Pedro Vite added another one shortly after, only two minutes later.

Regarding Miami, head coach Javier Mascherano needs to address numerous issues to keep his squad competing at the highest level.

In last season's playoffs, Miami faced an unexpected first-round elimination even though they were the top-seeded team and had won the Supporters' Shield. Given that the key players for Miami are aging and there aren’t many outstanding young talents stepping up to support them, another premature departure from the postseason might loom ahead.
