For Lionel Messi and Inter Miami MLS Cup, not league success, rules all

Lionel Messi's arrival at Inter Miami has shifted the club's focus from league success to winning the MLS Cup. Despite having an outside chance of repeating as Supporters' Shield winners under coach Javier Mascherano, the team's ultimate goal is to capture the prestigious MLS Cup trophy. The recent 3-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders, who had previously defeated Miami in the Leagues Cup final, was a step in the right direction and helped the squad regain positive momentum. Messi's presence and the team's ambition to win the MLS Cup have become the primary drivers for Inter Miami's performance and success this season.
