Columbus Crew Hosts Inter Miami in Major MLS Clash

The Columbus Crew are set to host Inter Miami in a highly anticipated MLS matchup at Huntington Bank Field on April 19, featuring star player Lionel Messi. Both teams enter the match unbeaten, with the Crew leading the Eastern Conference after a strong winning streak and Inter Miami close behind in fourth, having played one fewer game. The showdown is particularly noteworthy as it pits the league’s two best defenses against each other, each having conceded just six goals. Inter Miami’s head coach Javier Mascherano has indicated the club will field its strongest lineup, including Messi, despite an upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal. The match is expected to draw significant attention due to the high stakes and the involvement of international stars. The outcome could determine the new leader in the Eastern Conference.
