Lionel Messi will play for another trophy as Inter Miami reached the MLS Cup final with a strong and clear win. The team earned a 5-1 victory that showed its growth and confidence. The win also marked a major step in the Inter Miami MLS run, which has turned into one of the biggest stories in the league. Messi and his long-time teammates played a key role in the match as the team moved closer to its first league title. The night belonged to Tadeo Allende, who scored three goals and guided the attack from start to finish. Two of his goals came with help from Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, who have shared many years of play with Messi. Both players plan to retire after this season, yet they continue to show sharp vision and clean passing. Their work made the attack simple and smooth. Allende’s final goal came near the end of the match and closed the action with a clear message that the team was ready for the final. Inter Miami also scored through Mateo Silvetti and Telasco Segovia. Silvetti scored in the second half after Messi set up the play with a precise pass. That assist was one more milestone in Messi’s long career, which now includes more than four hundred assists for club and country. Segovia scored later with a heel touch from Alba, adding to the rising pace of the match and turning it into a one-sided finish. The win placed Inter Miami into the MLS Cup final for the first time. The team will host the match on 6 December and will face either San Diego or Vancouver. This marks a huge shift for a club that had never passed the opening round in its first five seasons. The new direction began when Messi joined the squad in the middle of last season. At that time, the club sat at the bottom of the league and struggled to earn results. The arrival of the star forward changed the pace, the mood, and the hopes of the team. Inter Miami lost twice to Vancouver earlier this year, including a match in a cup event with a heavy score. Yet the team now looks different. The players show more trust and control. The Inter Miami MLS run has taken on new life with each week. Fans fill stadiums in every city where the team plays, and many travel long distances just to watch the pink kit on the field. Stars from other sports also come to see Messi and the team in action. The atmosphere around the club has grown into something rare and global. Messi took a hit to the head early in the match as he chased a pass, but he stood up moments later and continued to play. He also faced a trip while leading an attack but stayed active and kept pushing the ball forward. His early free kick did not result in a goal, but it helped set the tone and forced New York City FC to defend deep in their own half. Inter Miami’s first goal came from a long pass by Busquets. The ball reached Allende, who controlled it and struck with calm power. A few minutes later, Alba sent another long pass that Allende placed into the goal with a header. The early lead put Inter Miami in a strong position that it never lost. New York City FC did score once in the first half, but the goal did not slow Inter Miami. The team stayed firm, kept the ball moving with short passes, and waited for the right openings. When Silvetti scored the third goal, the match shifted into a clear path toward a bright finish. The crowd understood that the night would belong to Inter Miami. The late goals by Segovia and Allende sealed the moment. The Inter Miami MLS run now continues to the final stage. The club has won major trophies in the past two seasons and hopes to add the top league title next. With Messi signed through 2028 and the team building a new stadium near the airport, the future looks strong. The night ends with the team one win away from a new achievement and one step from a place in MLS history.
