Lionel Messi said it would be "beautiful for everyone" if Inter Miami could collect its first trophy.
Standing in the way in Saturday's Leagues Cup final is another team, Nashville SC, that is playing for its first trophy of any kind. To reach this point, Nashville SC upset Liga MX powerhouse CF Monterrey, 2-0, in the semifinals.
After winning just five of 22 regular-season MLS games, Inter Miami has won all six of its Leagues Cup matches. Its 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Union in the semifinals represents Miami's most impressive win in the team's short history.
Getting to the Leagues Cup final is a remarkable accomplishment for a Miami squad that currently sits in last place in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference. But it has enjoyed an unprecedented summer rebuild, highlighted by the addition of 2022 World Cup champion and seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi. Inter Miami also signed two of Messi’s former FC Barcelona teammates — Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets — and three highly regarded South American prodigies in 20-year-old Paraguayan midfielder Diego Gómez, 20-year-old Argentine midfielder Facundo Farías and 19-year-old Argentine defender Tomás Avilés. Farías and Avilés have yet to make their Inter Miami debuts.
Messi has scored nine goals in six Leagues Cup games, while Inter Miami has scored 21 goals during the tournament — a far cry from their 22 goals scored in 22 MLS games before Messi's arrival.

While Inter Miami was able to quickly turn around its fortunes by signing arguably the greatest soccer player ever, Nashville SC brings a more blue collar approach to the pitch. Anchored by a sturdy defense and starring one of the best designated player signings in league history in Hany Mukhtar, Nashville SC has been a steady MLS contender since its 2020 inception.

What's at stake in the Leagues Cup final?
While both Leagues Cup finalists — as well as the winner of the third-place game between the Philadelphia Union and CF Monterrey — earn automatic berths for 2024 into the rebranded Concacaf Champions Cup (formerly named the Concacaf Champions League), the Leagues Cup winner earns automatic qualification to the Round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup.
Neither Inter Miami nor Nashville SC has ever previously qualified for the Concacaf Champions Cup.
There is prize money also awarded to winning teams in the Leagues Cup, with the champion reportedly earning around $2 million.
What to know about Nashville SC
Nashville SC and Inter Miami each joined MLS as expansion teams in 2020. Nashville SC has enjoyed far more success, so far, than Inter Miami. Nashville has made the playoffs in each of its three seasons, advancing to the conference semifinals in 2020 and 2021. Last season, Hany Mukhtar — the first designated player signing for Nashville in August 2019 — earned league MVP honors. Mukhtar is having a sensational follow-up to his MVP campaign, currently leading MLS with 13 goals.
Defender Walker Zimmerman is a two-time MLS defender of the year and a four-time MLS Best XI selection. Both Zimmerman and fellow defender Shaq Moore were part of the United States' 2022 World Cup team. Newly signed forward Sam Surridge scored the first goal in Nashville's 2-0 win over Monterrey in the Leagues Cup semifinals. Midfielder Dax McCarty is in his 18th MLS season after being a first-round pick in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas. Nashville SC are the fifth different team that McCarty has played for.
