Inter Miami was caught off guard this Sunday as they fell 2-3 against Montreal in a clash where they didn't have Leo Messi, who was not in the squad list, nor Luis Suárez nor Sergio Busquets initially, although they did enter in the second half.

Gerardo Martino made several changes to the starting lineup with the decisive Concacaf Champions League match against Nashville in mind (2-2 in the first leg).

Messi watched the game dressed casually from his VIP box with his family. In total, Martino made five changes compared to the team that thrashed Orlando City a week earlier. The most notable was David Ruiz at right-back for the transferred DeAndre Yedlin, with Julian Gressel joining the midfield alongside Argentine Fede Redondo.

Colombian Fernando Álvarez, Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro, and Nigerian Ibrahim scored the goals for the Canadians, while Ecuadorian Leo Campana and Spaniard Jordi Alba scored for the home team.
