Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will play in the final match of the first round in the MLS Cup Playoffs on Saturday night against Atlanta United. The 8 p.m. ET match is underway at Chase Stadium, and available to live stream via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.

Inter Miami’s 2024 campaign came to an unexpected end with a first-round elimination in the MLS Playoffs. Despite the early exit, Lionel Messi still has crucial matches ahead. Inter Miami entered the MLS Playoffs with high hopes of reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time in their history.

Inter Miami practiced on Friday thinking there was no way Sergio Busquets was going to play in its win-or-else playoff match against Atlanta United. Busquets — who coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said was ruled out for Saturday's game — received medical clearance on Friday afternoon to play and is being listed as questionable.
