The team is currently 5th on the Eastern Conference standings, behind Columbus Crew,Nashville SC, Cincinnati and the Philadelphia Union. The franchise is also gearing up for its third and final Leagues Cup 2025 Phase One matchup, where they will face one of the most popular Mexican teams, Pumas UNAM.

Lionel Messi continues to amaze fans from all over the world when he’s dribbling pass defenders on the field… and also when he’s seen off the field as any other regular person that has errands and a life outside of the stadiums.
The Inter Miami forward was forced to make an early exit from his team’s 5-4 penalty kick shootout win over Mexican club Necaxa on Saturday evening, due to an injury picked up in the opening minutes of the Leagues Cup Phase One clash at Chase Stadium.
Messi is working on his recovery and meanwhile, he caused a buzz with a fan who saw the World Cup champion driving in Miami. The man who recorded the Argentinian icon couldn’t believe that Lionel was driving a vehicle with no tints, due to his international superstar statuts.

Inter Miami‘s player was hampered by adductor and thigh strain issues earlier this year, missing Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers in March. Having him on the field increases his nation’s chances of a win.
He’s tallied 18 goals and nine assists in 18 league appearances this season, and bagged assists on both of the Herons’ goals in their last-second 2-1 win over Atlas in their Leagues Cup 2025 opener on Wednesday.
