At the end of the match, the Spanish full-back complained about this championship format: “I’m not the one who’s going to change the way we have to compete now, but I find this format a little unfair.. It’s clear that it’s been done this way for many years, but if you ask me and if it were me, it would have to be the champion of one conference against the champion of the other for it to be the most just possible.
In addition to this elimination in the first round in the fight for the MLS title, the Inter Miami team led by Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino (former Barça coach) also lost this year in the quarter-finals of the Concacaf Champions Cup against Monterrey and lost in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup against the Columbus Crew.
The season was therefore not good at all, but FIFA nevertheless invited the 2025 Club World Cup as a representative of the host country (United States) for winning the regular championship, which in MLS counts for nothing in sporting terms.
