Can the Vancouver Whitecaps beat Messi's Inter Miami in Concacaf Champions Cup semi-finals?

The semi-finals of the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup are set, and the Vancouver Whitecaps will be taking on Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF over two legs in hopes of advancing to the final.

Concacaf announced Thursday the dates and times for those matches, which will take place later in April and will be broadcast live on OneSoccer:

Leg 1 -- Thursday, April 24, 7:30 p.m. PT/10:30 p.m. ET | BC Place, Vancouver

Leg 2 -- Wednesday, April 30, 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET | Chase Stadium, Miami

After the Whitecaps' impressive triumph in Mexico City over Pumas, and Miami's comeback victory over Los Angeles FC, the two Major League Soccer sides will go head to head in this semi-final as both hope to get to their first ever Concacaf Champions Cup final.

Vancouver advanced after beating Pumas on away goals, as their tie ended 3-3 thanks to Tristan Blackmon's 93rd-minute goal at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Miami got past LAFC after losing the first leg 1-0, as Messi scored twice including an 84th-minute penalty to take them into the semi-final for the first time in club history.

The winner of this semi-final matchup will take on either Cruz Azul or Tigres, as those two sides beat Club América and LA Galaxy, respectively, to set up an all-Mexican semi-final.
