Serial winners try to guide their Major League Soccer clubs to a first MLS Cup when Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami welcome Thomas Muller’s Vancouver Whitecaps to Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.
Miami have been steamrolling foes over the past two rounds, clobbering FC Cincinnati 4-0 before pasting New York City FC 5-1, and Javier Mascherano’s men are hopeful of giving David Beckham his first MLS Cup as an owner after winning two as a player with the LA Galaxy (2011, 2012).
Messi is eyeing one more World Cup appearances and has shown few signs of slowing down in MLS. The 38-year-old won the Golden Boot this season and has now amassed an eye-popping 77 goals and 42 assists in 87 games for the Herons since arriving in 2023.
