<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> is looking to lead <strong>Inter Miami</strong> to their first <strong>MLS</strong> title in club history when they face the Vancouver Whitecaps in the grand final this Saturday, <strong>December 6th</strong>, at Chase Stadium.</p>



<p>Amid this crucial final preparation, the club’s front office also have one eye on the next season, and reports indicate that <strong>a major contributor could be departing for Argentina.</strong></p>



<p>According to Argentine journalist German Garcia Grova in a <a href="https://bolavip.com/ar/river/gallardo-levanto-el-pulgar-tadeo-allende-fue-ofrecido-a-river-y-puede-ser-refuerzo-en-2026">report for <em>Bolavip Argentina</em></a>, South American giants <strong>River Plate</strong> are closely monitoring the situation of <strong>Tadeo Allende</strong> in a potential move for the 2026 season.</p>



<p>The 26-year-old Argentine attacker joined <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> at the beginning of 2025 on a <strong>one-year loan deal</strong> from <strong>Celta Vigo</strong>. This means he must return to the Spanish club in the coming weeks, unless the Florida team negotiates to extend his continuity.</p>

<h2>Tadeo Allende’s breakout 2025</h2>



<p>Allende has played a critical role for Inter Miami this year, appearing in a total of <strong>53 matches across all competitions</strong>, including MLS, Concacaf Champions Cup, Leagues Cup, and the Club World Cup. He has developed a strong understanding with Lionel Messi over these months, and his statistics reflect his impact.</p>

<p>In 4,002 minutes of play, he has scored <strong>25 goals</strong> and tallied <strong>two assists</strong>. During the MLS Cup Playoffs, he has already scored <strong>8 goals</strong> and is a key force as Inter Miami aim to secure the trophy on Saturday against the Vancouver Whitecaps.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> and the <strong>Vancouver Whitecaps</strong> reach the MLS Cup Final, setting up a compelling clash where two global icons and longtime European rivals meet once again: <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> and<strong> Thomas Muller</strong>. As anticipation builds, one question naturally resurfaces—what is the head-to-head record between these two legends?</p>



<p>Messi and Muller <strong>have faced each other 10 times across club and international competitions. </strong>The record currently favors the German star, who <strong>has won seven of those meetings, while Messi has claimed the remaining three</strong>. Their battles span more than a decade of high-stakes moments and some of the most memorable matches in modern soccer.</p>



<p>At the club level, <strong>all of their meetings came in the UEFA Champions League, with Muller representing Bayern Munich and Messi playing for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain</strong>. In six encounters, Muller won five, including the historic 8–2 result that marked the toughest defeat of Messi’s career. Messi’s lone club victory came in the 2014–15 semifinal, a 3–0 win that eventually led Barcelona to lift the Champions League trophy.</p>



<p>On the international stage, the record is even at two wins each. However, the weight of those results differs significantly: <strong>Muller and Germany claimed victories in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals and the 2014 World Cup final, while Messi and Argentina earned their wins in friendlies</strong>. In short, the German holds a commanding edge in competitive matches. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a> now looks to close that gap and cement another chapter in his legacy.</p>

<h2>Messi’s recent record against Muller and the Whitecaps</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/thomas-muller">Muller</a> <strong>has won the last four head-to-head meetings between the two stars</strong>, and Messi’s recent record against Vancouver brings little comfort. He has faced the Whitecaps twice in his career—<strong>both in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals</strong>—and lost both times. On Saturday, the Inter Miami captain aims to flip the script.</p>

<h2>How did they reach the final?</h2>



<p>On Saturday, November 30, Inter Miami secured their place in the final by winning the Eastern Conference title with a <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-vs-new-york-city-fc-live-lionel-messi-chases-2025-mls-cup-final">commanding 5–1 victory over New York City FC</a></strong>. Later that night, the <strong>Whitecaps followed suit, defeating San Diego FC 3–1</strong> at Snapdragon Stadium, setting up another high-profile showdown between Messi and Muller.</p>



<p>Now, Messi and Thomas Muller meet again as rivals, this time with Inter Miami hosting the 2025 MLS Cup Final against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vancouver-whitecaps">Vancouver Whitecaps</a> <strong>on Saturday, December 6. </strong>With another trophy at stake, the Argentine and German superstars are set to write a new chapter in one of the most compelling individual matchups of their era.</p>

What's Messi's record vs Muller? Inter Miami and Whitecaps clash in 2025 MLS Cup final

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-vs-new-york-city-fc-live-lionel-messi-chases-2025-mls-cup-final"><strong>Inter Miami</strong> pulled off a dominant 5-1 win over <strong>New York City FC</strong></a> in the Eastern Conference final, a result that crowned them conference champions and secured their place in the <strong>MLS Cup</strong> decider. It was a statement performance from a team that has been in command throughout the postseason, fueled once again by the presence of <strong>Lionel Messi</strong>.</p>



<p>Messi reacted on his social media accounts after the match, noting that the job isn’t finished yet. <em><strong>“We still have one more step… Eastern Conference champions but we still have the MLS Cup Final ahead,”</strong></em> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a> wrote, keeping the focus on the league title match.</p>



<p>It wasn’t Messi’s most prolific outing — and it didn’t need to be. His teammates handled most of the scoring<strong>, especially Tadeo Allende, who tied the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> postseason goalscoring record</strong> with a remarkable hat trick on the biggest stage of Inter Miami’s season.</p>



<p>Even without delivering a vintage attacking performance, <strong>Messi still contributed with an assist on the goal by Mateo Silvetti</strong>. The win also ensured that Inter Miami will host MLS Cup, edging both the Vancouver Whitecaps and San Diego FC on total points (65) earned throughout the season.</p>

<h2>The incredible record Messi achieved</h2>



<p>With the assist to Silvetti,<strong> Lionel Messi reached 405 career assists, moving into sole possession of the all-time record</strong>. He had entered the match tied at 404 with Ferenc Puskas before setting a new milestone in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>’s historic victory.</p>

<h2>How the match unfolded</h2>



<p>The standout performer of the night was Allende, <strong>who scored three of Inter Miami’s five goals. Telasco Segovia and Silvetti added the others.</strong> Inter Miami immediately imposed their tempo, jumping to a 2-0 lead within 23 minutes thanks to two strikes from Allende — the first a clean right-footed finish and the second a powerful header off a cross from Jordi Alba that left goalkeeper Matt Freese with no chance.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-city-fc">New York City FC</a> pulled one back in the 37th minute, creating a brief sense that the match could tighten.

Is Lionel Messi playing today for Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati?

<p>While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> is currently working to pilot <strong>Inter Miami</strong> to their first <strong>MLS Cup</strong>, the league has officially announced the new 2026 season schedule. As a result, The Herons now know who the first opponent will be at their new home, Miami Freedom Park.</p>



<p><em>“The Club’s 2026 regular season is set to begin on the road against LAFC on Saturday, Feb. 21 and will feature the long-awaited MLS home opener at Inter Miami’s new home against <strong>Austin FC</strong> on <strong>April 4</strong>,</em>” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> announced in an official statement.</p>



<p>Inter Miami will open their season against LAFC on the road in an attractive duel between Lionel Messi and Son Heung-min. Following that match, they will play four more games on the road, and fans will not get to experience the new Miami Freedom Park until the home opener on <strong>April 4th</strong> against <strong>Austin FC</strong>.</p>



<p>Some fans may be somewhat dissatisfied with having to wait so long to debut the new stadium. However, there is a possibility that Inter Miami could open the stadium as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> Cup champions, as they are still competing, with the Conference Semifinals set for <strong>Sunday, November 23rd</strong>, against <strong>FC Cincinnati.</strong></p>

<h2>Messi about playing on Miami Freedom Park</h2>



<p>One of the primary goals the Inter Miami leadership set was to successfully renew Lionel Messi’s contract so that the Argentine star would be part of the team debuting at Miami Freedom Park, which will have a capacity for <strong>over 25,000 spectators.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/report-lionel-messis-inter-miami-to-visit-south-american-country-with-opponent-still-unknown"></div>

        


<p>They ultimately managed to extend Messi’s commitment <strong>until 2028</strong>, and following the renewal, the Argentine expressed his excitement about playing for the first time in the new venue, which will be Inter Miami’s new home.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>We are all very excited for the moment when we can finally play in Miami Freedom Park.</strong> We look forward to it being finished so we can enjoy it from the inside, in our new home, and so that the fans can enjoy it too. It’s going to be very special to play at home in such a spectacular stadium,</em>” Messi explained.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> recently surprised the world of soccer by unexpectedly visiting the remodeled Camp Nou. The Argentine star posted photos on his Instagram account from inside the pitch that deeply moved <strong>Barcelona</strong> fans, who are now fueling dreams of his return via a specific <strong>MLS</strong> regulation: the <strong>Beckham Clause</strong>.</p>



<p>Along with the photos, Messi posted a heartfelt message that immediately sparked speculation about a potential return to the club where he made his professional debut. </p>



<p><em>“Last night I returned to a place I miss with all my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world. <strong>Hopefully, one day I can return and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I could never do</strong>…</em>” Messi wrote.</p>



<p>The reality is that the “Beckham Clause” provides a mechanism for Messi to return to Barcelona without violating his current contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>. The key to this potential move lies in the scheduling differences between the MLS and European soccer calendars.</p>

<h2>The key to the Beckham Clause</h2>



<p>The master key that would facilitate Messi’s temporary return to Spain is that the American league permits a player to arrange a loan with any other club that is active during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> offseason (the first few months of the year). The only stipulation is that the player must return to his parent club before the start of the new MLS season, keeping the contractual link intact.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-reaches-the-400-assist-mark-at-38-years-old-how-many-assists-does-cristiano-ronaldo-have-at-40"></div>

        

        


<p>If all parties agree, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> could reach a deal with Inter Miami to secure Messi’s services <strong>from the first days of December until February 2026</strong>. Today, this short-term loan is presented as the only viable maneuver for the Argentine to once again step onto the Camp Nou pitch in his former team’s jersey.</p>



<p>It is worth noting that this regulation is named the “Beckham Clause” due to the impact of the English midfielder’s loan move from the <strong>LA Galaxy to PSG in 2013</strong> during the North American league’s winter recess. The precedent has also been set by other stars like <strong>Thierry Henry, Robbie Keane</strong>, and <strong>Landon Donovan</strong>.</p>
