Orlando City SC, affectionately known as the Lions, has achieved yet another significant milestone on their journey to success. I had the privilege of witnessing and capturing the exhilarating 3-2 victory over the New England Revolution, securing a coveted spot for the club in the highly anticipated 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup. This remarkable feat marks their second consecutive appearance in this prestigious tournament, reaffirming their position as one of Major League Soccer’s (MLS) top contenders.

The Orlando City Lions will finally get to pit their skills against Inter Miami’s forward Lionel Messi in a few weeks on September 24. The Lions have historically dominated their series against Miami, boasting a record of 6 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws in 11 meetings. However, it’s worth noting that none of those victories were achieved when facing Messi.

“We will be ready.” Lions coach Oscar Pareja remarked when discussing the prospect of going up against Messi. “We know who we are, we going to go get that victory because our heart is prepared to do it.”
