Oct 25, 2024 at 10:54 PM ETFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi had chances at goals time and time again, only to keep being denied. Turns out, all he needed to do was deliver the right pass at the right time.
“It's going to be difficult for us,” Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said. “It's going to be difficult as this rival has been throughout the season.” “It gets settled on the field,” Messi said in an interview taped before the playoffs, one that MLS teased on social media and said will be distributed on its Season Pass platform. “Anything can happen in a match.”Suarez scored with the match barely a minute old, and Messi had three high-quality chances later in the half.
