The Argentine star Lionel Messi has propelled his team, Inter Miami, to its inaugural appearance in the Major League Soccer (MLS) Cup Final following a decisive 5-1 victory over New York City FC in the Eastern Conference Final held Sunday night at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Inter Miami delivered an impressive offensive performance, highlighted by Argentine Tadeo Allende's remarkable hat-trick. Matteo Silvetti and Venezuelan Télasco Segovia also contributed with goals, culminating in a historic win that secured the Eastern Conference title and a spot in the championship match.
While Messi, 38, did not score in this match, his influence was felt through a brilliant assist that set up the third goal, effectively extinguishing any hopes for New York City to stage a comeback.
With this assist, Messi increased his career total to 405 assists over 1,136 matches, placing him at the top of the all-time list for goal creators in football history, surpassing Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskás (404 assists) and Brazilian icon Pelé (369 assists).
This title represents Messi's third with Inter Miami since his arrival in 2023, as he continues to write new chapters of success in the twilight of his career.
Inter Miami will face the Vancouver Whitecaps in the final next Saturday, after the Canadian team secured its place by defeating San Diego 3-1 in the Western Conference Final, a match led by former German star Thomas Müller.
