Summary

In today’s show Alexi Lalas and David Mosse recap a historic week of soccer. The Columbus Crew advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup finals to face Pachuca. They became the first MLS team to beat Monterrey in Mexico, in a 2-legged series. Also stateside, Messi made history…again, in Inter Miami’s win over NY Red Bulls. He set the record for the most assists by an MLS player in a single match. (7:27) Over in Europe, Arsenal and Man City continue to battle in the EPL title race. Whereas, Real Madrid and PSV clinched their La Liga and Eredivisie titles respectively. In Italy Christian Pulisic found an assist to Giroud, but AC Milan settled for just a point in the match. UCL semi finals also wrap up this week, with leg 2 on deck. (30:41) In #AskAlexi, the guys breakdown the gap between MLS and Liga MX, the idea of MLS switching to a European schedule, and Mosse’s starting 11 Brazilian team with players in the EPL.
