Inter Miami players to watch
Outside of the much-ballyhooed Messi-Busquets-Alba triumvirate, here some other notable Inter Miami players:
Robert Taylor: Messi appears to have found his assist man in the winger from Finland. Taylor, who is in his second season with Inter Miami, delivered an absolute dime on Messi's first goal against Orlando City on Wednesday. Taylor has accounted for three goals and three assists in Miami's three Leagues Cup wins.
DeAndre Yedlin: The USMNT veteran who has played in two World Cups joined Inter Miami in 2022 after nearly a decade playing in Europe. Yedlin had been wearing the captain's armband until he bequeathed the honor to Messi.
Josef Martinez: Martinez was a revelation for expansion Atlanta United, scoring 19 goals in the team's inaugural season of 2017. The next season, Martinez scored a then-league record 31 goals for an Atlanta team that won MLS Cup in just its second season. After another strong season in 2019, injuries and feuds with team management derailed the remainder of his time in Atlanta, and Martinez was traded to Miami in January 2023.
What to know about FC Dallas
Dallas is an OG Major League Soccer team, known originally as the Dallas Burn until a rebrand in 2005 as FC Dallas. Despite being a playoff regular since 1996 (only missing the postseason eight times in 27 seasons), FC Dallas has not won MLS Cup. It did reach the 2010 final, only to lose 2-1 to the Colorado Rapids. FC Dallas has collected three trophies in its history: the Supporters' Shield (2016) and twice winning the U.S. Open Cup (1997 and 2016).
U.S. national team player Jesús Ferreira — jokingly nicknamed "The Pirate of the Caribbean" for his penchant for scoring goals against against Caribbean nations — is the team's leading goal scorer with 10. Newcomer Eugene Ansah scored the winning goal in FC Dallas' 2-1 win over Mazatlán in the Leagues Cup Round of 32.
