However, if there is anyone who has made the impossible possible at Inter Miami, it is Lionel Messi. He was speaking to the US media outlet MLS Season Pass after the 3-1 win over LAFC. He said, “The group is growing more. I’ve been saying it since the beginning of all of this: we were lucky to get into a tournament and get to a final. Now, we’re going to look to hit the objective of being among the best eight to try and win the league. This is the way. We continue growing, and obviously winning provides a lot of confidence.”
Inter Miami are on an 11-match unbeaten streak since Messi's arrival. The former Barcelona man was delighted to see that run extended after the win vs. LAFC. He said, “We had spoken about it before the game, that it would be a good test for us to see where we really are and what we’re capable of. It was a difficult place to play against a very good rival, the current champions. We walk away with a very important result for what’s coming.”
