Whoever advances will meet the Philadelphia Union or New York City FC in the Eastern Conference Final, vying for the chance to compete in MLS Cup presented by Audi on Dec. 6.

Anytime the GOAT is involved, he takes center stage. It's been the case throughout Lionel Messi's iconic career, and this game is no exception.

Miami's legendary Argentine No. 10 has been his usual dominant self in 2025, posting 29g/19a during the regular season to win the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi and position himself to become the first back-to-back Landon Donovan MLS MVP.

It's been the same story in the playoffs, with Messi contributing 5g/3a in Miami's Round One Best-of-3 Series triumph over Nashville SC.
