Lionel Messi wants to win the MLS Cup in 2024 and, so far, the Argentine legend is having a spectacular season with Inter Miami. After seven games, Leo is the top scorer in the tournament with nine goals and also has seven assists. Just unstoppable.
A few weeks ago, The Herons suffered a big hit when they were eliminated by Monterrey from the Concacaf Champions Cup. It was a massive opportunity to claim an international title.
However, since that moment on, Messi took charge and revamped the team with consecutive victories in MLS against Sporting Kansas City, Nashville SC and New England Revolution.
Right now, Inter Miami are in first place of the Eastern Conference with 21 points in 11 games. They are on pace to get a ticket to the playoffs, but, those knockout stages are going to be a very difficult challenge with possible rivals like Columbus Crew or FC Cincinnati.
