Inter Miami will play the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal series Thursday night.

Inter Miami head to Canada to take on the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal, and all eyes are on Lionel Messi's potential starting role in this pivotal matchup.
