Who should Tata Martino start against Atlanta United? Susannah Collins, Nico Cantor, Charlie Davies and Alexis Guerreros discuss Lionel Messi’s availability and fatigue levels as Inter Miami look to continue their unbeaten run in MLS. The crew is outraged for Sam Vines who was left off out Royal Antwerp’s Champions League roster due to a clerical error (09:36). The Bundesliga weekend kicks off with a belter as Xabi Alonso leads his red-hot Bayer Leverkusen team to his old stomping ground (15:11). Alexis is giving NYCFC the edge against a goal-shy NY Red Bulls ahead of a weekend of MLS derbies (24:05). And excitement levels are at fever pitch ahead of Saturday’s grudge match between Inter and AC Milan (31:17)
