Lionel Messi Is Playing for Another Trophy. Inter Miami to Meet Vancouver in the MLS Cup Final

Inter Miami aims for its first MLS Cup title led by Messi, who may retire alongside teammates Alba and Busquets after a dominant season with a 10-2-1 record, officials said.

  • On Saturday, Lionel Messi will lead Inter Miami CF against the Vancouver Whitecaps for the MLS Cup final, marking Miami's last game at its current stadium as both clubs seek their first title.
  • Inter Miami seeks to prove its recruitment paid off with Barcelona foursome Messi, Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets, while Vancouver Whitecaps aim for a trophy and revenge after prior CONCACAF wins.
  • On form, Inter Miami has been dominant with a 10-2-1 record in its last 13 matches and 16-2-2 at home, while Vancouver is 7-1-5 and conceded 17 goals in 17 MLS games.
  • Saturday may bring both farewells and milestones, as a Vancouver win would make Thomas Müller the first to hold both World Cup and MLS Cup titles, and longtime teammates plan to retire after the final.
  • Legacy figures like Lionel Messi frame the final as more than a title game, with Javier Mascherano noting four World Cup winners on the pitch and Messi's 46 championships marking endings and fresh starts.
