¿Cuándo será el partido de Cruz Azul vs Inter de Miami?
The upcoming match will be played on Wednesday, September 16, at the NU Stadium in Miami, where the Mexican team will attempt to seek revenge for their last encounter against Messi's team.
After a 3-1 result, it was determined that Cruz Azul will play against Inter at 5:30 PM, Central Mexico time, from the new stadium that will serve as the home for Messi and his team.
Inter Miami will enter the match as the home team after being the 2025 MLS Cup champion; La Máquina Celeste will be the visitors after defeating Toluca in the Campeón de Campeones match, played last Saturday with a 3-1 score, with goals from José Paradela and Carlos Rodríguez.
This is not the first time both teams have faced each other. In the 2023 Leagues Cup, Inter Miami beat Cruz Azul 2-1, and now it seems the Mexican club will look for a rematch.
In fact, that match between the two representatives of the MLS and Liga MX marked Lionel Messi's debut on the field with the Miami team.
Cruz Azul will arrive at the 2026 Campeones Cup match with three undisputed victories, one of them in the Campeón de Campeones game and the other two at the start of the 2026 Apertura, where they defeated Atlético de San Luis 3-2 and Puebla, with a score that ended 2-1.
For his part, Lionel Messi is integrating into Inter Miami for his upcoming commitments after being runner-up in the 2026 World Cup. The Argentine and his national team lost to Spain 1-0, in a controversial match that is still being discussed due to the fights, fouls, and the red card that saw Enzo Fernández sent off.
