Inter Miami hit the flow state after the 4th goal . Every pass perfect , tiki taka .

Only two more needed for 100 Messi goals for Miami. Insane performance tonight. Felt like we got the balance better with Casemiro at CB, and we also looked better in transition with his quality of passing out from the back. Montreal were abject but we took our chances very well. Funny to me that even on a day we score 7 we still just can't keep clean sheets. But hopefully this is the catalyst for a run of form to approach the play-offs. Some gorgeous goals tonight—Messi's 2nd and 4th, obviously, but also Shaw's strike was a beauty. Enjoyed that.

I posted something about playing Casemiro as a CB some days ago lol. Someone there had the same idea.

What a match! A joy to be in the stadium for this game. Lost in all the scoring was DSC’s performance. He did great saved some tough shots!!

Ok but that play where he was all the way outside the box could have ended worse. Like wtf was dude doing?!

I’m going to take this match as proof Hoyos needs to go 😂

Hoyos was coaching from the stand.

Hoyos was never going anywhere? Wasn’t he just the only available option as a coach? He’s still part of the training staff.

From tied in 3rd place for most goals to number 1 in one night after already missing a few games because of the World Cup and his dad.

This will live on with their 5:0 against Orlando back in March 2024 for me. So much fun.

Can we play them every week?

Seriously, that was new manager bounce combined with lesser opposition. Sorely needed from a confidence standpoint; I don’t think much has appreciably changed but stopping the rot from that five-game stretch was critical so, mission accomplished.

I actually think they played incredibly well. So many great plays and precision, there was a nonstop flow of awesome. I hope this keeps up!

What a phenomenal fairytale end to a game. Messi and team killed it. So fun to watch them play like that together when things click, and the joy on Messi’s face.

“It's the eighth time in Messi's legendary career that he has scored four or more goals in a game and the first time since joining Miami. His last four-goal match came in February 2020 for Barcelonaagainst Eibar in Spain's LaLiga.
The 39-year-old is also the fastest player in MLS history to reach 20 multigoal games in the regular season, having done so in 72 appearances.
Messi leads the MLS in scoring this season, with 18 goals in just 19 games, to put him two ahead of FC Dallas' Peter Musa.”—espn

DSC playing well since he got the haircut. Segovia and RDP need to shave their head asap.

Somehow the count the first free kick as an own goal? What a joke.

Ah glad MLS credited him, I saw on Sofascore that it counted as an own goal.

Pretty incredible achievement for a team to score 7 goals without a single involvement from our DP striker.

u/Starksterr 2025 MLS Cup Champions 3d ago

I thought Messi and Suarez couldn’t play together?

We looked good last night but the opponent was horrible also. Personally I’m tired of hearing the announcers talk about the table. While I would rather have a good seeding for the post season, I’m more concerned with getting everyone off the injured list and match fit, with some competitive minutes. I believe, and I’m no pundit, that we can make a deep playoff run and possibly hoist the trophy. What a statement it would be to repeat!
