- Focus: Messi has played in the national team + club in the past 14 days, with a flight mileage of 21,000 kilometers and a yellow light on the physical fitness trough.

2. Cincinnati vs. Nashville (Saturday 07:30, TQL Stadium)

- Recent situation: The two teams have only scored 7 points in the last five rounds, but they have 41 points in a sluggish state, and they still take the initiative in the top seven in the East.
