"Everything funnels into Chase Stadium on Saturday as Inter Miami and Vancouver Whitecaps contest the MLS Cup final, a stage neither club has conquered before. Inter Miami arrive with wind behind them after a ruthless post-season run. Javier Mascherano's side have hit at least four goals in each of their last three playoff games, sweeping aside opponents with the league's most dangerous attack."
"Ninety-eight goals across the season - regular and post-season combined - tells its own story as Lionel Messi looks for more silverware. The pressure, though, is not only on the club. Two long-serving icons, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, will retire after the final, adding another layer of emotion to a night already carrying plenty of weight. Miami haven't beaten Vancouver once this season, something that will linger in the back of minds, but a packed home crowd should give the Herons the lift they need."
Chase Stadium hosts the MLS Cup final between Inter Miami and Vancouver Whitecaps, with neither club having previously won the trophy. Inter Miami enter on a ruthless post-season run, scoring at least four goals in each of their last three playoff games and totaling 98 goals across the season and playoffs, with Lionel Messi recording 13 playoff goal involvements. Long-serving defenders Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets will retire after the final, adding emotional weight. Vancouver earned their place with a 3-1 away win at San Diego, set club records for points, wins, goals and goal difference, and defeated Miami 5-1 on aggregate in the semi-final.
