On October 25, the MLS playoffs started. In the first round of the best-of-three games, Inter Miami competed with Nashville for the top four spots. The first game was Inter Miami’s home court. The two teams met twice in the regular season, with Miami winning both games. The playoffs were a completely different ballgame, and Miami won again. Lost the ball in the 101st minute! Miami's 3-1 was left in suspense, with Messi's diving header + double kick, scoring 891 goals.

In the regular season, Inter Miami has a record of 19 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference with 65 points, while Nashville has 16 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses, ranking sixth with 54 points. Inter Miami's final game of the regular season was against Nashville, and Miami won 5-2. In this game, Inter Miami's five stars Messi, Suarez, Busquets, DePaul and Alba started together. Miami's starting 11 are worth 54.3 million euros, and their opponents are worth 28.2 million euros.

Recently, Messi renewed his contract with Inter Miami until 2028. Messi will play for another two years after the World Cup. This game is Messi's first game after renewing his contract. Before the start of the game, Messi received the MLS Golden Boot. Messi has played 43 times for Inter Miami this season, starting 40 times, scoring 37 goals and assisting 18 times. Among them, Messi has played 28 times in the MLS and contributed 29 goals and 16 assists in 26 starts. He ranks first in the scorer list and second in assists. In Messi's 44th game for Miami this season, the Argentine king scored again.

In the 19th minute of the opening, Messi launched an attack, dribbling the ball forward and passing the ball to Suarez on the right, and then moved forward into the penalty area. His old teammate looked up after stopping the ball and glanced up, and accurately passed the ball to the goal. When the ball came, Messi scored with a header, helping International Miami lead 1-0. It's still the familiar "Su Mei Connection". This old partner has such a tacit understanding. With this goal, Messi scored the 890th goal of his career in 1,131 games, while Ronaldo scored 890 goals in 1,220 games.

Messi was in very good shape this game. In the first half, all 4 dribble attempts were successful, and 6 of 7 confrontations were successful. Even though Nashville players focused on marking Messi, they just couldn't stop him. In the 62nd minute of the second half, Miami took a 2-0 lead. Messi split the wing to Frey who came on the right. The latter passed the ball and assisted Allende with a header! In the 96th minute, Nashville goalkeeper Willis made a mistake and Messi pushed into the empty goal and scored twice. In the 101st minute, Mukhtar took a free kick and got a goal back for the visiting team. In the end, Miami defeated Nashville 3-1.

It was a pity for Miami that they failed to beat their opponents by 3 goals in the first round. The second round of the match between the two sides will kick off at 7:30 a.m. on November 2. Miami is playing on the road. If Miami wins again, it will eliminate Nashville 2-0, and Miami's opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be Columbus Crew or Cincinnati.
