How have Inter Miami and Philadelphia fared in the Leagues Cup so far?

Both Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union have been impressive during the 2023 Leagues Cup final to reach the semi-finals. Let's take a look at the run both sides have made to get to this stage.

Inter Miami were bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference standings with just 18 points prior to the tournament. They were destined to not succeed during the Leagues Cup but the arrival of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets changed everything.

The Barcelona legends aided the Herons in winning all their group-stage games and advancing through the knockout stages, dispatching the likes of Cruz Azul, Atlanta United, Orlando City, FC Dallas, and Charlotte FC. Messi has been particularly impressive, racking up eight goals and one assist in just five appearances.

Philadelphia is set to be Inter Miami's hardest test so far in the competition. The MLS side are currently third in the MLS Eastern Conference with 40 points. They have also looked solid, finishing second in their group in the Leagues Cup. They also won back-to-back penalty shootouts in the knockout stages against DC United and New York Red Bulls.

Although Lionel Messi and Co. will be fancying their chances of a positive result, it is Philadelphia that has a superior head-to-head record. Both sides have faced each other nine times to date, with the latter winning five. Two have resulted in draws, while the Herons have won just two.
