Lionel Messi: The Relentless Conquerer
In the MLS's 2024 season, Inter Miami has been, in essence, a one-man force with Messi leading from the front. The team's dismal performances when Messi was sidelined certainly bear this out. He missed four rounds this season, resulting in a 1-1-2 record for Inter Miami. When he returned, he made an impact in the 1-1 tie against the Colorado Rapids, despite only playing for 45 minutes.
Messi then laced up for the full 90 minutes against Sporting Kansas City, shining brighter than any other player on the pitch.
Can Nashville Turn the Tide Against Messi & Co.?
Nashville SC hasn't tasted victory in its last three games and its last road win can be traced back to February in the CONCACAF Champions League. This team is still winless on the road in the 2024 MLS season, setting the stage for an uphill battle against Inter Miami.
However, don't underestimate Nashville's roster, which boasts top-tier talents like Daniel Gazdag and Teal Bunbury. With players of this caliber, Nashville definitely has the potential to make life challenging for Inter Miami. But overcoming the odds and securing a win in Florida seems a stretch for now.
