Messi Alone Can't Save Inter Miami | MLS News

Inter Miami’s Supporters’ Shield chase is in serious jeopardy after a 2-2 draw with Nashville SC, leaving them nine points behind with just nine games left. Messi dazzled again with his 19th goal of the season — but the team’s reliance on him is becoming unsustainable. Nashville’s Sam Surridge scored twice, including a late equalizer, while Miami wasted multiple chances and hit the post three times, dropping their shot conversion rate to a worrying 40%. Despite Messi’s historic record against Nashville (17 goals in 14 games), Nashville has proven they’re the stronger side this season. Compounding the issues: the new manager’s work permits are still pending, the interim coach faces mounting fan anger, and internal tensions are rising with on-field altercations and frustrated new signings. With a slightly easier schedule ahead against San Diego FC and D.C. United, Miami must find answers fast — or risk fading into fifth place.
