The MLS Cup final will pit the Eastern Conference champion "Inter Miami" against the Western Conference champion "Vancouver Whitecaps", and the football world's attention will once again be focused on the duel of two stars: Lionel Messi and Thomas Müller.
İdman.Biz reports that Müller's arrival in MLS was accompanied by a playful but ambitious message.
The German star, upon transferring to Vancouver, said to his former "Bavaria" teammates: "I will hunt Messi again".
This confidence is no coincidence. Statistics clearly show Müller's advantage over Messi. In confrontations in World Championships and the Champions League, Thomas Müller has 7 wins, while Lionel Messi has 3 wins.
This list includes the "Barcelona" - "Bavaria" match, remembered for the famous 8:2 score, and the 2014 World Cup final.
After winning the Western Conference title, Müller did not hide his desire to face Messi in the final: "I wanted this final".
All tickets and viewing rights for the Miami final, which will be one of the biggest clashes in MLS history, have generated record interest. Messi and Müller's new duel in North America has resonated greatly in the football world.
