Inter Miami will face Atlas from Liga MX in the first round of the 2025 Leagues Cup. Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba are back from suspension after missing the All-Star Game—a decision that led the league to ban both players for one match. With them now eligible to play, another question comes up: will Rodrigo De Paul make his debut tonight?

The Leagues Cup makes its return this week, first with a batch of matches on Tuesday that included Toluca's win over reigning champions Columbus Crew on penalties. The action continues on Wednesday and Thursday, much of the attention on Inter Miami as superstar Lionel Messi welcomes another friend to South Florida.
