Revs Eliminated from Playoffs as Inter Miami Fights for Postseason Berth
4 Oct
Summary
- New England Revolution mathematically out of playoff contention
- Inter Miami looking to improve standings with remaining games
- Defensive concerns for Mascherano's team after conceding 5 goals

As of October 5th, 2025, the New England Revolution have been mathematically eliminated from the playoff race, a fate that had seemed imminent for weeks. Meanwhile, Inter Miami CF sits in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with 56 points, looking to improve their standings by using their remaining games to climb the table.
Despite Messi's fatigue, the Argentinian superstar is expected to play in this match, as Argentina has already secured its spot in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers, and Messi was not called up for national team duty during this FIFA international break. However, Mascherano's team still has defensive concerns, as conceding 5 goals to Chicago has sounded the alarm. The absence of the ideal center-back pairing of Noah Allen and Maxi Falcon could further complicate matters in the playoffs.
On the other hand, Sergio Busquets is approaching the end of his legendary career, and there is no clear replacement in the squad after Federico Redondo's departure, despite the arrival of Rodrigo de Paul. With three games remaining, Mascherano's goal is to finish in the top three and reach the knockout stages with momentum.
