In a rare crossover event, tennis world number one Carlos Alcaraz attended the MLS Eastern Conference Finals at Chase Stadium in Miami, where he witnessed Inter Miami's dominant 5-1 victory over New York City FC. The win marked a historic milestone for the club, securing their first-ever spot in the MLS Cup final. As Alcaraz mingled with the Miami players, he was greeted by Inter Miami's star player Lionel Messi, who he had previously met at the 2023 Laureus Sports Awards. The two sports superstars shared a moment on stage as Alcaraz presented Messi with the Eastern Conference Finals trophy. Inter Miami's Argentine winger Tadeo Allende stole the show, scoring a hat-trick in the match. His impressive performance has set him up as a key player for the MLS Cup Final, where Inter Miami will face either San Diego FC or Vancouver Whitecaps. For Messi, the final will be an opportunity to lift his first MLS Cup title with Inter Miami. Meanwhile, Alcaraz is enjoying a well-deserved break after a successful 2025 tennis season, which saw him win two grand slam titles and regain the world number one ranking. The 2026 tennis season is just around the corner, and Alcaraz is already gearing up for another year of competition. However, for now, the focus remains on the MLS Cup Final, where Inter Miami will look to make history and bring home the championship title.
