Inter Miami Eyes Maiden MLS Cup in 2025
1 Dec
Summary
- Inter Miami is heavily favored to win their first MLS Cup in 2025.
- The team boasts a star-studded lineup including Messi and Suarez.
- Unexpected tactical shifts have propelled Miami's postseason success.
Inter Miami is poised to win their inaugural MLS Cup in 2025, a milestone after years of significant investment. The franchise, now valued at $1.2 billion, has assembled a formidable squad akin to Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, featuring Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. Their dominance in the playoffs, marked by a 3.4-goal average per game, has them on track for the title.
A shift in tactics, driven by Luis Suarez's suspension, led to the emergence of Tadeo Allende and Mateo Silvetti as potent attacking threats alongside Messi. This new dynamic has injected pace and fluency into Miami's offense, proving that a team's collective strength can exceed the sum of its star parts. Veteran players like Busquets and Alba are set to retire after this weekend's final.
Standing between Inter Miami and the MLS Cup are the Vancouver Whitecaps, who had a strong season themselves, finishing second in the Western Conference and reaching the Champions Cup final. Despite the presence of Thomas Muller, the Whitecaps are considered underdogs against Miami, especially with Inter Miami holding home advantage for the final.
