Messi's Inter Miami is hated in MLS. |
According to a confidential survey by journalist Tom Bogert ( The Athletic ), before the MLS Cup final between Inter Miami and Vancouver Whitecaps, many Sports Directors, Head Coaches, Players and Senior Officials of the Clubs all hope that Inter Miami will fail.
A senior official of an MLS club even said outright that many people in the league hate Inter Miami. The main reason they pointed out was Inter Miami's financial superiority, when the Florida team spent the most in the league, constantly breaking transfer records.
Over the past three years, Inter Miami has had at least six deals exceeding the $7 million transfer fee. Meanwhile, their upcoming opponent in the final, Vancouver Whitecaps, has only had one $6 million transfer deal, which is also a record in the club's history.
Inter Miami's preferential salary fund to own Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and many other stars at the same time also makes the rest of MLS feel unfair, going against the philosophy of financial equality that the league has long pursued.
Additionally, many felt that referees favored Inter Miami in many games. However, not everyone was against Inter Miami. Some others argued that Miami's victory could have long-term benefits for the entire league.
On the morning of December 7, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Thomas Muller's Vancouver Whitecaps will play the grand final to find the best team in MLS this season.
