The entire MLS wants Messi to lose.

Most coaches and officials from MLS teams hope Inter Miami loses in the 2025 MLS Cup final.

Messi's Inter Miami is hated in MLS.

According to a confidential survey by journalist Tom Bogert ( The Athletic ), ahead of the MLS Cup final between Inter Miami and Vancouver Whitecaps, many sporting directors, head coaches, players, and senior club officials hoped that Inter Miami would lose.

A senior official from an MLS club even stated outright that many people in the league hate Inter Miami. The main reason they cited was Inter Miami's financial superiority, as the Florida team spends the most in the league, consistently breaking transfer records.

Over the past three years, Inter Miami has had at least six transfers exceeding $7 million . Meanwhile, their upcoming opponent in the final, Vancouver Whitecaps, has only had one transfer worth $6 million , also a record in the club's history.

Inter Miami's preferential salary cap, allowing them to simultaneously acquire Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and many other stars, has been perceived as unfair by the rest of MLS, contradicting the league's long-standing philosophy of financial equality.

Furthermore, many people feel that the referees often favor Inter Miami in many matches. However, not everyone is against Inter Miami. Some argue that Miami's victory could bring long-term benefits to the entire league.

In the early hours of December 7th, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Thomas Muller's Vancouver Whitecaps will play in the grand final to determine the best team in MLS this season.
