Lionel Messi and Inter Miami continue their quest for a second Leagues Cup title in three years when they face Liga MX power Tigres UANL in the quarterfinals.

Palmeiras striker Jose Manuel Lopez also received his first Argentina callup on Monday for World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador. Lopez caught the eye of coach Lionel Scaloni for his goal-scoring output at Palmeiras, where he joined in 2022 from Lanús. The center forward has 15 goals in 42 matches this year.
