Inter Miami is out of the CONCACAF Champions League tournament after losing to Monterrey 1:3 in the quarter-final rematch and losing to the Mexicans 2:5 on aggregate.
Monterrey took a 2:1 lead after the first match on Inter's turf and in the second leg it was even more decisive, despite the fact that the Argentine superstar Lionel Messi was on the field for the MLS team. The home team went 3-0 ahead after goals from Brandon Vasquez, German Berterame and Jesus Gallardo.
Jordi Alba left Inter a man down after two quick yellow cards before Messi assisted Diego Gomez for the honors goal for the visitors.
Monterrey will play the Columbus Crew in the Champions League semifinals, and Messi and company renew their Major League Soccer commitments with the visit of Sporting Kansas City. /BGNES
