Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are through to the semi-finals of the Concacaf Champions Cup after a wild, come-from-behind 3-1 victory over Los Angeles FC at Chase Stadium in For Lauderdale, Florida.

The Athletic and ESPN each reported on Monday that the South Florida club has acquired the Belgian star’s discovery rights, giving them the right of first refusal within to negotiate a contract with De Bruyne should he decide to move to the league after he leaves Manchester City.

MLS talking points: How Vancouver became elite and no rest for Leo Messi

2 weeks ago | theguardian.com | Joseph Lowery |Graham Ruthven |James Nalton |Alexander Abnos

The Vancouver Whitecaps weren’t supposed to be here, perched on top of the Western Conference. They lost Stuart Armstrong, a key Designated Player, over the offseason. Star attacker Ryan Gauld has missed the last month with a knee injury. They’re still alive in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarter-finals, and Concacaf success and regular season success don’t tend to mix well for MLS teams. And yet, here they are. On top of the West.
