Inter Miami and its band of stars -- including Lionel Messi -- were eliminated from the postseason by Atlanta United, 3-2; their chance at a Supporters Shield and MLS Cup double turned to dust.
When asked how the Miami locker room was after the match, manager Tata Martino said: 'Sad ... as one should be when there are so many expectations, and the team cannot meet them.'
The viewership for the rest of the playoffs on Apple TV is bound to take a massive hit given the crater-like hole Miami's elimination has created.
But honor is due to Atlanta. The Five Stripes were deserving of their win and were by no means intimidated by their opponents.
