Inter Miami are in first place overall in Major League Soccer with 64 points. With four games remaining in the regular season, Tata Martino’s side is just 10 points away from surpassing the regular season points record held by New England Revolution in 2021 with 73.

That Revs side was coached by Bruce Arena but fell short in the MLS playoffs, losing to eventual champion NYCFC in the semifinals for MLS Cup. This season, Inter Miami has a record-setting pace, with Luis Suárez among the leading scorers in the league with 17 goals and possibly winning MLS MVP.

Lionel Messi is one of the top assisters in the league with 15 and is one game away from hitting 20 wins in the regular season.
