Part One of the Morning Footy podcast begins with hosts Poppy Miller, Chris Wittyngham, Charlie Davies and Nigel Reo-Coker recapping a long and wild night of action in Ohio where Lionel Messi and Inter Miami made it through yet another penalty shootout to secure their place in the US Open Cup final (01:14). The Saudi Pro League has been a disruptive force in this summer’s transfer window, but is Al Ahli’s move for Celta Vigo sensation Gabri Vega the league’s biggest signal of intent to date? (17:38) Then, the crew discusses Luciano Acosta’s heroic performance for FC Cincinnati and Houston Dynamo’s dominant win over Real Salt Lake in the other semifinal (30:43).

Don’t miss Part Two as Nico Cantor joins with a firsthand account of the latest Messi masterclass.
