TThe moment of truth has come for Messi and his friends. Inter Miami look to continue making history and will aim to take on New York City in the Eastern Conference Finals, advance to the MLS Cup Finals and lift the coveted trophy.
Javier Mascherano’s team performed well in the regular phase and was also very strong in the knockout matches. With a star-studded team, the Argentine coach was expected to reach the final, but winning the championship will not be easy.

“Overall, the season went very well in terms of performance,” he said. “Today we have reached this decisive and decisive stage in good condition and with great confidence. It will be a point in our favor.”
How did Inter Miami reach the Eastern Conference Finals?
Inter Miami was in great shape and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. They were second in the regular season and had already made it to the play-offs, defeating Cincinnati 4-0, and Lionel Messi was once again hungry for glory and looking to add another title to his successful career.
Our vision is that tomorrow we have to be in the game from the first minute, like we did against Nashville and against Cincinnati.
Mascherano was cautious in his press conference, admitting that although he is doing well, he is still far from reaching the top prize. “I think we’ve played well, but we haven’t accomplished anything. We talked about that a lot this week. Beyond the fact that we regained home court advantage, the game is going to be very complicated. We’re going to be playing a rival that has qualified for the conference finals.”

New York City finished fifth in the regular season, but they hope to perform even better in the playoffs and, with help from Argentine Maxi Morales, take a shot at being among the favorites.
