Thomas Müller and Lionel Messi set for showdown in MLS Cup final between Vancouver and Inter Miami
Inter Miami aims to win its first MLS Cup with Messi, who leads with 405 assists, against Western Conference champion Vancouver and Thomas Müller in a winner-takes-all final.
- On Dec. 6, Inter Miami will host Vancouver Whitecaps at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale for the MLS Cup final featuring Lionel Messi and Thomas Müller.
- Inter Miami reached the final after a 5-1 win over New York City FC, with Tadeo Allende's hat-trick, while Vancouver advanced by beating San Diego 3-1 to claim the Western Conference crown.
- Messi's numbers show Lionel Messi, Inter Miami captain, 38 years old, reached 405 career assists and contributed to 13 of Inter Miami's 14 postseason goals, including a defence-splitting pass to Mateo Silvetti.
- The final comes during a huge week for North American soccer as MLS is likely to announce its MVP award this week, and a Miami win would complete the club's turnaround after a shaky season.
- After years of high-stakes clashes in Europe and internationally, Thomas Müller, 36, joined Vancouver Whitecaps four months ago, lifted the Canadian Championship, and now aims to spoil Lionel Messi, 38, in the MLS final.
