Miami International head coach Javier Mascherano recalled Barcelona's historic 6-1 comeback to beat Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, using the example of the night to inspire his players as they read about his players on Wednesday at the Concacaf Champions Cupions Cupions Cubl Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifinal Semifin

Mascherano, along with then-Barcelona teammates and current Miami Carsemant and current Miami, Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez, inspired Barcelona to score 6-1 in the quarterfinals of the European Championship when he lost 4-0 and scored 6-1 in the first inning with a 6-1 victory.

Now Mascherano and Inter Miami have entered the second leg with a 2-0 deficit, requiring at least two goals to tie three rounds and reaching the final for the first time in club history.

"That night (in 6-1 beat PSG) I learned nothing is impossible. In football, everything happens. Everything, absolutely everything," Mascherano said in a press conference Tuesday.

"Eliminated us with a 4-0 score. I think it was 2-0, and in the second half we were almost there, and then they scored a goal and we had to score another three, and we did it because in the end, until the referee sent the signal, everything would happen.

“I think I could also spread the coach at the time, and four teammates who shared my experience with them, their skin life.

"That's the rest they can convey. Obviously the situation is different, there are no two equal games, the background is completely different, but I think the winner and tomorrow's situation will especially give us the possibility of a solution."

Miami had previously won the quarter-finals to beat LAFC, losing 1-0 to Chase Stadium in the first leg to secure a ticket to the semifinals.

Although the team understands the expectations and responsibilities of the game, Mascherano insists that these moments make football professional worthy, which is worth it for athletes and coaches.

"If we are not athletes, just I am not athletes, I am a coach, that is to bear this pressure, ultimately, the reason for giving you life, it gives the meaning of the game," Mascherano said. "The fact that being able to compete and having to overturn the fantasy of negative outcomes is that we think it's stress, responsibility, but it can tell you that stress is different things in life."

“I think that this kind of stress, if you know how to deal with it, can handle it, the stress that ultimately gives you can be a positive view.”

Defender Maximiliano Falcón responded to the coach's thoughts, adding that players must face such challenges in order to play football.

"To get you into this profession, to play football, you need passion and face challenges, and tomorrow our challenges will be difficult."

"Today, it would be a good thing to win 4-0, but that's the case. We're very sure we'll do a good job and the results will be seen."
