Inter Miami faces New York in the MLS Eastern Conference final with a berth in the MLS Cup as the reward for the winner.
All eyes will once again be on Lionel Messi as the 38-year-old leads Miami to Chase Stadium in what will be the club’s first-ever appearance in the conference finals.
Javier Mascherano’s side dominated in a 4-0 win over FC Cincinnati in the previous round, while Messi scored six goals in the playoffs alone.
Miami has the best overall record in MLS in 2024, but was beaten by Atlanta United in the first round of the playoffs.
Former Spain internationals Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets will both retire at the end of the season and will be hoping for one last piece of silverware to add to their already impressive trophy haul.
