Inter Miami CF head coach Gerardo Martino emphasized the team's 'clear obligation' to win the MLS Cup, especially with star players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets on the roster. Martino, who led Atlanta United FC to the title in 2018, expressed that the current pressure to succeed is unprecedented.
Despite clinching the Leagues Cup trophy in the 2023 season, Inter Miami missed out on the MLS playoffs due to previous results. However, the team has now secured a postseason berth by defeating FC Cincinnati on Aug. 24, with the best record in MLS and leading the Eastern Conference table.
