Inter Miami, led by global soccer stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, is one step away from inscribing its name in the history of Major League Soccer (MLS). This Saturday, the Florida team achieved a victory in an exciting match against Toronto FC, thanks to a goal by Leonardo Campana in stoppage time following an assist from Suárez. With this win, Inter has accumulated 71 points and is approaching the record of 73 points set by New England Revolution in 2021. The victory in Toronto not only reaffirms the quality of Inter Miami's roster, which also includes figures like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, but also allows them to dream of the possibility of finishing the regular season with the best points record in MLS history. To achieve this, they only need to defeat New England Revolution in their next match, scheduled for October 19 at their home stadium. However, the team may face the complicated situation of not having Messi, who is expected to be called up by the Argentine national team for an international commitment. Inter Miami, popularly known as the Herons, has proven to be a formidable team this season, with an impressive record of 21 wins, 8 draws, and only 4 losses in 33 matches. Winning the Supporters’ Shield, an award given to the best team in the regular season, marks a milestone for the club, which had not won any official titles before Messi's arrival in 2023. This achievement grants them access to the Concacaf Champions Cup and positions them as representatives of the United States in the 2025 Club World Cup. The impact of Messi in MLS is undeniable. His presence has increased the popularity of soccer in the country, and his first playoff match will be shown on a giant screen in Times Square, New York, on October 25. This not only highlights his status as a global icon but also underscores the fervor he has ignited for the sport among an audience that traditionally did not follow soccer. Despite their achievements, Inter Miami must not lose sight of the fact that the most relevant title—the MLS Cup—is not decided in the regular season, but in the playoffs. The advantage of playing at home could be crucial for the team, which will have the opportunity to host all of its knockout matches at Chase Stadium, potentially making a difference in their quest for the championship. Messi, who finishes the regular season with 17 goals and 17 assists in 18 matches, is undoubtedly the most decisive player in Inter Miami's scheme. However, the contribution of Suárez, who has become the team's top scorer with 18 goals in 26 matches, cannot be underestimated. Together, these two soccer stars have elevated the team's level and provided an attractive spectacle for fans. In the match against Toronto, Messi, Suárez, Busquets, and Alba started from the bench, demonstrating the coaching staff's strategy to manage their key players at a crucial moment in the season. The victory, sealed by an exquisite goal from Campana in extra time, illustrates the team's ability to remain calm and find victory even under pressure. The upcoming match against New England Revolution will not only be an opportunity for Inter Miami to reach the points record but also a test of their collective strength. As the playoffs approach, the pressure will increase, and every match will become a decisive battle to achieve the dream of the championship. With Messi's commitment and his impressive track record, Inter Miami fans have reasons to be excited. The season has already been a resounding success with the achievement of the Supporters’ Shield and securing their spot in the Champions Cup. But true glory is still to come, and the team is preparing to face what promises to be an exciting knockout phase in which they will fight to prove they are the best in MLS.
