The Floridian team reached the ½ finals in the US Open Cup, and with the arrival of the soccer superstar Lionel Messi, they are only 2 games away from lifting a trophy.
Inter Miami is in the last place in the Eastern Conference with 15 points as they lost their last 5 matches in the MLS, but with Messi’s arrival, their chances to reach the MLS playoffs are alive because 9th Charlotte is only 6 points ahead of them.
