"An immediate Leagues Cup, a record-breaking Supporters' Shield, a strong Club World Cup, and now the coveted MLS Cup. Expectations will remain high for what lies ahead, but the first half of the Lionel Messi project at Inter Miami has been a resounding sporting success. Inter Miami's 3-1 home victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps in this past Saturday's MLS Cup Final punctuated a stellar first act for Messi in his stateside journey."
""The idea when we arrived here was to take the team to the highest level," said Messi, who is ranked at no.1 in FourFourTwo's list of the greatest players of all time, after delivering two assists en route to being voted the final's MVP. "We knew it would be a challenge because the team had only existed for a few years... but this year we competed in every competition we played in. Ultimately, we ended up achieving the real objective of winning the MLS Cup.""
