**Miami, FL -** Following their recent Supporters’ Shield victory, Inter Miami are aiming to break the MLS regular season points record with a win against Toronto FC on Saturday. Coach Tata Martino, who celebrated the Supporters’ Shield victory with “two beers,” emphasized the importance of winning both remaining games to secure the record.

Lionel Messi, who recently recovered from a right ankle injury, could start, come off the bench, or potentially sit out the Toronto game. Martino expressed caution regarding Messi’s minutes, noting his ongoing recovery and upcoming international duty with Argentina. “We will try to decide the best for his health fundamentally,” he said.

The match against Toronto FC holds significance for both teams. Inter Miami seeks to clinch the record, while Toronto fights for a playoff spot. This game marks the end of Toronto’s regular season, with the No. 8 and No. 9 teams in the Eastern Conference facing off in a Wild Card match on October 22nd. The winner will then play a best-of-three series against Inter Miami, beginning on October 25th.

Inter Miami will begin their MLS Cup Playoffs journey on Friday, October 25th. The match will be available for free live stream via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV and broadcast live in New York City’s Time Square.
