Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi propelled Inter Miami to its first Major League Soccer (MLS) final after a dominant 5-1 victory over New York City FC in the Eastern Conference Championship, held at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday night.
Inter Miami displayed a remarkable offensive performance, with Tadeo Allende scoring a hat trick and Matteo Silvetti contributing another goal, while Venezuelan Tilasco Segovia added one more, culminating in a historic win that secured the title of Eastern Conference Champions and a spot in the final.
Although Messi, now 38, did not score in this match, his impact was felt through a brilliant assist that set up the third goal, effectively extinguishing any hopes New York City had of a comeback.
With this assist, Messi increased his career total to 405 assists over 1,136 matches, making him the all-time leader in assists, surpassing Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskás (404 assists) and Brazilian icon Pelé (369 assists).
This title represents Messi's third accolade with Inter Miami since his arrival in 2023, further solidifying his legacy of achievements as he approaches the twilight of his playing career.
Inter Miami will face the Vancouver Whitecaps in the final next Saturday, after the Canadian team secured its place with a 3-1 victory over San Diego in the Western Conference Championship, a match officiated by former German star Thomas Müller.
