Yamal’s 100th Cap Magic, Messi & Miami Humbled, 2006 vs 2024 USMNT Roster

On today’s episode, Alexi Lalas and David Mosse dove into a pair of spectacular Champions League semifinal games. Paris Saint-Germain edged Arsenal 1-0 thanks to a stunning 26-pass goal finished by Ousmane Dembélé. Barcelona and Inter Milan battled to a 6-goal thriller, ending with three goals apiece. Lamine Yamal showed off in his 100th appearance, fueling comparisons to a young Lionel Messi. Meanwhile, Inter Miami and Messi were pummeled in the CONCACAF Champions Cup by Vancouver. Sebastian Berhalter and Brian White scored in both legs of the semifinal to boost their USMNT hopes. They also previewed the weekend abroad for USMNT players as they fight for final league positions and European possibilities. Antonee Robinson and Fulham take on Aston Villa, while Weston McKennie and Tim Weah travel to Bologna.

In #AskAlexi, the guys revisit some USMNT history, comparing the 2006 World Cup roster to the 2024 Copa América squad, and Alexi surprises Mosse with a World Cup trivia question. To wrap the show they give an ode to Carli Lloyd ahead of her U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame induction.
