00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Lionel Messi has been dominating headlines over the past few

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:07.679
<v Speaker 1>days with performances that cement his legendary status and plans

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.919
<v Speaker 1>that extend far beyond the soccer pitch. On the field,

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Messi is putting on a historic playoff display for Inter

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Miami in the MLS Cup playoffs. The Argentine superstar has

6
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>shattered MLS records by accumulating twelve goal contributions, consisting of

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>six goals and six assists in just four postseason games.

8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 1>His most recent masterclass came during Miami's devastating four to

9
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>zero victory over FC Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference Semifinals,

10
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>where he contributed one goal and three assists. This performance

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 1>has Inter Miami bulldozing through the competition with a combined

12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 1>score of twelve goals to three conceded across four playoff games,

13
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>with Messi participating in all time twelve tallies. According to

14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Major League Soccer, this sets a new record for most

15
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>goal contributions in MLS Cup playoffs history. Inter Miami now

16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>faces New York CITYFC on Saturday in the Eastern Conference

17
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Final with an MLS Cup berth hanging in the balance.

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>As the third ranked team in the supporter's shield standings.

19
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.280

20
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>December sixth, should they defeat New York City FC. Head

21
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>coach Javier Mascherano remains cautious despite the team's dominance, emphasizing

22
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>that they must approach Saturday with intensity from the opening minute.

23
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.319
