Team Overview
Inter Milan, the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League runners-up, are the favorites to win. Monterrey, from Liga MX, earned their place by winning the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.
Team News
Monterrey
Monterrey is eager to make a comeback after a tough season. New head coach Domenec Torrent has stepped in after Martin Demichelis left. Torrent is determined to bring fresh energy to the team. They finished seventh in Liga MX’s Clausura and had an early exit from the CONCACAF Champions Cup, losing to Vancouver Whitecaps.
Monterrey will miss center-back Carlos Salcedo due to a knee injury. His absence will be a challenge for their defense.

Inter will be without key players Hakan Calhanoglu, Yann Bisseck, and Davide Frattesi due to injuries. However, new signings Peter Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb and Luis Henrique from Marseille might make their debuts.
