They will all meet again in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, with Müller surely knowing that facing Messi does not automatically mean defeat. Thomas Müller knows exactly what it is like to face Lionel Messi with a trophy on the line. He also knows what it takes to win in those moments. The big MLS 2025 final — Messi and Inter Miami against Müller and the Vancouver Whitecaps — will generate some comparisons due to the presence of two key actors from the 2014 World Cup final and the 2010 World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and Germany. Germany, with Müller, emerged victorious on both occasions.
