The race for the Supporters’ Shield is on. Inter Miami are looking to lift the trophy for the second consecutive season, and while they may be off their record pace of last season, no team has won the award for the most points in back-to-back seasons since the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2010-11. With MLS being a salary cap league, it’s quite hard to maintain a lead of that nature, but with Lionel Messi leading the way, the Herons have been able to keep pushing to new heights.
Javier Masherano’s team will now need help to win the Supporters’ Shield after drawing Toronto FC despite having two games in hand. No other team has more than three games left at this stage, and now being seven points behind the Philadelphia Union, winning their games in hand will see the Herons trail the top spot by one point. With Sergio Busquets also announcing his retirement at the end of the season, this is also a chance to send him out on a high while preparing for the MLS Cup playoffs.
Here’s a look at Miami’s schedule and how to watch them travel away to face Toronto FC on Saturday:
