Messi and Muller create historic match

Messi and Inter Miami make history.

On the morning of November 30, in the Eastern Conference final, Inter Miami crushed New York City 5-1 to qualify for the MLS Cup final for the first time. Messi continued his good form when he contributed an assist for the third goal.

Hours later, Muller also played well to help Vancouver Whitecaps beat San Diego 3-1 in the Western Conference final.

For the first time in history, players who faced each other in the World Cup final will face each other in the MLS Grand Final. It will also be the first time a player has both the World Cup and MLS Cup in his trophy cabinet.

That person will be Thomas Muller or Lionel Messi. After the match, Muller said that he had been looking forward to this final for a long time. After the 2014 World Cup, this was the first time Muller met Messi again in a final.

"I love watching Messi play. Miami is a very strong team. We saw how they crushed New York. It will be a great final. I always wanted a final like this, and now we have it, it's great for everyone," said the 36-year-old German midfielder.

Those words were not only a respect for his opponent, but also a declaration of a legend who is writing a new chapter in his career.

Muller plays well in MLS.

Muller moved to Vancouver Whitecaps in the summer of 2025 after 17 years with Bayern Munich. With the experience of winning the 2014 World Cup, Bundesliga and Champions League, he turned the Canadian team into a phenomenon.

From 9th place last season, they jumped to runner-up in the Western Conference and reached the MLS final for the first time. On the other side of the battle, Lionel Messi, at 38 years old, is still the center of Inter Miami.

More importantly, Messi helps his two close friends Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba (both of whom have confirmed they will retire at the end of this season), stand a chance to end their careers with a historic MLS trophy.

For Leo personally, if he wins, he will become the first player in history to win the World Cup, Champions League, Copa América and MLS Cup, a collection of titles that no one has ever touched.
