Inter Miami vs. Nashville SC: MLS Playoff Showdown
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami face a decisive winner-take-all match against Nashville SC in the MLS Cup Playoffs. The result will determine if Inter Miami’s impressive season continues or ends in the first round.
Season Overview
Inter Miami narrowly missed winning their second consecutive Supporters' Shield, finishing just one point shy in the regular-season points race. The team led the league with 81 goals scored, with Messi topping the charts with 29 goals and sharing the assists lead at 19.
"Another excellent Inter Miami season will crash out in the first round of the MLS playoffs if Lionel Messi and company can't win a decisive game tonight against Nashville SC."

Their sole trophy came during the 2024 Leagues Cup, where Miami defeated Nashville in a dramatic 10-9 penalty shootout after a three-game series.
