He Inter Miami has developed gradually to have the opportunity to occupy the Shield of Supporters of MLS and will have a chance to claim their title as the best team of the regular season when they play tonight against Columbus Crew. A victory against the Ohio team would give them their first Supporters’ Shield title. And also for a Leo Messi who is in trouble and whose participation, although expected, is not 100% certain.
The ‘Herons’ have a seven-point lead over the Los Angeles Galaxy in the overall standings and each have three games left to play. The Crew have four remaining and a win against Miami would bring them within five points. It’s still a long fight to beat the Herons, but at least there’s a chance. “We have something to play for,” said Crew coach Wilfried Nancy. “The idea is to go with everything and we’ll see later. We’re going to play against Miami the next game. We’ll see how we’ll be able to play.”
Miami comes off a three-game losing streak after a five-game winning streak. “We are still on top, leading, first of all,” said Jordi Alba. “And that’s the important thing. It’s true that we had chances to secure the league… Hopefully, on Wednesday, against Columbus, we can win and seal the title.”
‘Tata’ Martino’s team is also chasing the record for league points in a season set by New England. They must beat the Crew, Toronto FC and New England to surpass the 73 points achieved by the Revolution in 2021. Everyone expected Leo to be there after an ankle injury kept him out of the 3-2 loss to Inter with the Crew in the CONCACAF League Cup , as well as the MLS All-Star game in Columbus on July 24. He has 15 goals in 16 MLS games this season.
