Messi the Magician: How One Argentine Wizard Sparked a Miami Miracle
Let's not forget the biggest factor in Inter Miami's historic win: Lionel Messi. Yes, THAT Lionel Messi.

Not only did he score a screamer of a goal in the final (seriously, the replay is worth watching just for the sheer audacity), but his overall presence seemed to elevate the entire team. It's like having a cheat code in real life – except the code is hard work, dedication, and a left foot that could make Michelangelo weep.
