🚨 Messi makes history, joins Müller in reaching the MLS final | OneFootball

A final at the top!

This Saturday evening, the finals of the Eastern and Western Conference in MLS took place.

Facing New York City FC, Lionel Messi had the opportunity to win the Eastern Conference championship title for the first time, but more importantly, to reach the MLS final.

In any case, the Herons did not falter with a wide victory by a score of 5-1. Silent and providing a decisive pass only once, the Pulga saw another Argentine shine in the person of Tadeo Allende, who scored a resounding hat-trick.

However, this assist allowed Leo Messi to become the sole top assist provider in the history of football with 405 assists, thus surpassing Ferenc Puskas.

A unique record, which places the Argentine even more alone on his planet, while waiting perhaps for his first U.S. championship title.

On their side, the Vancouver Whitecaps also outperformed their opponent of the evening, San Diego FC (1-3).

It must be said that Thomas Müller's teammates, who was also silent, were leading 0-2 by the 11th minute of play, then 0-3 at halftime.

Despite a goal by Hirving Lozano at the hour mark, the suspense could never be revived, notably due to a red card conceded by Pablo Sisniega in the 79th minute.

Vancouver thus clinches the Western Conference championship title and will meet Inter Miami in the MLS final to offer us a magnificent duel between Thomas Müller and Leo Messi. So, who will win?
