Following their victory over Pumas, Inter Miami are set to face Tigres UANL in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Leagues Cup. Javier Mascherano’s team has showcased resilience throughout the tournament, securing two wins and a draw. Meanwhile, the Mexican side has experienced a bumpier road, with two victories offset by a loss. Nevertheless, the upcoming clash promises to deliver a thrilling contest, thanks to the stellar rosters that both teams bring to the field.

Despite their latest defeat against Los Angeles FC, Tigres UANL have managed to establish themselves as one of the best Mexican teams in the 2025 Leagues Cup. This success is thanks to the offensive power led by head coach Guido Pizarro, who positions Angel Correa as their star striker and one of the tournament’s top scorers. But that’s not all, as they also rely on players like Diego Lainez, Ozziel Herrera, and Ivan Lopez, who can make a difference.

Although the draw against Necaxa raised doubts among fans, Inter Miami have effectively dispelled them with their resounding victory in the most recent match. Javier Mascherano’s team regained its defensive strength as Maximiliano Falcon, Gonzalo Lujan, and Sergio Busquets performed impressively. On top of this, Tadeo Allende’s great form, combined with the experience and skill of Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul, positions the Herons as one of the toughest rivals to beat.
