After a month of thrilling action and fascinating fixtures, the 2023 Leagues Cup reaches its crescendo on Saturday when Nashville SC host Inter Miami in the final.
The MLS-Liga MX tournament began with 47 teams from the two most prominent Concacaf leagues. This year’s tournament, the first edition of the expanded competition, has been hosted in the United States and the MLS teams have been the more impressive, making up six of the eight quarter-finalists.
Nashville have home advantage for the final and currently sit fourth in the MLS Eastern Conference. They are a well-disciplined team and boast reigning MLS All-Star Hany Mukhtar, but it is their opponents who have the real star power at their disposal.
Lionel Messi’s arrival has changed the fortunes of an Inter Miami team that looked directionless for much of 2023. They are bottom of the Eastern Conference but have been electric in the Leagues Cup; their 21 goals in six matches is by far the best record in the tournament.
