It seems that the fear syndrome that represented that America was about to get them the 206th edition of the classic young on Saturday at the Banorte Stadium spread to Miami this Wednesday with Blue Cross by losing the Champions Cup 2-0 against Inter Miami without putting hands.
Undoubtedly, Lionel Messi’s factor was very important, especially after scoring his first hundred goals with the Garzas. Paradoxically, the first goal of the Argentine star with the U.S. team was also against the Celeste Machine three years ago; however, the defeat was not for this reason, but because the Noria did nothing to change history.

The lack of ideas from the cemeteries on the playing field facilitated the match to those of the U.S. team, who only accompanied this lack of ideas from the Mexicans with certain flashes of Messi, being the most prominent, as we said, his hundreds of goals with the Garzas uniform.

Even before and after Lionel Messi scored 1-0 in the 24th minute, the cemetery set did nothing to change the development of the actions. They continued to drag a parsimonios style that at no time caused any real threat to goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, who came to this tournament from Minnesota United.
The reality is that the performance of Cruz Azul leaves the image of the current MX League champion wrong, especially because of the quality of the staff Joel Huiqui has and that showed that his tactical arguments at no time put the debut of the Argentine Cristian “Killi” González on the bench of the Garzas.

To define the game, we could say that Cruz Azul, despite putting his star picture with the reappearance of Carlos Rotondi and the participation from the start in the attack of Nicolás Ibáñez, supported by a line of midfielder composed by Erik Lira, Agustín Palavecino, José Paradela and Carlos Rodríguez, as well as a line of five zagueros with Jeremy Márquez, Jesús Orozco Chiquete, Amaury García and Willer Ditta, really did not contribute anything on the playing field.

Thus, the fall of the Heavenly Machine was only the chronicle of an announced death. The second goal of Inter Miami by the work of Casemiro at the 81st minute represented the action of putting the last claw in the coffin of the cementers, who did not do to modify the scoring more than they tried to move their pieces with the entry of Gonzalo Piovi, Alan Mozo, Toro Gabriel Fernández, Christian Ebere and Omar Campos, because their changes did not pay in anything to change the story.
There are those who say that Cruz Azul hit him hard to get to Florida with just 24 hours before the game against Inter Miami, due to the failures of the logistics of the Major League Soccer to play this Champions Cup that will go into history as a duel where the cement machine did not know how to defend its history and its title achieved in Mexico.
