Inter Miami

Inside Inter Miami: With season on brink, will the club rebound in Game 3 vs. Atlanta?

Inter Miami set an MLS record for most points in a season and won the Supporter’s Shield.

Now that same star-studded team led by Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba is on the brink of playoff elimination after losing 2-1 to the wild card qualifying Atlanta United in game 2 of their first-round series.

On the latest episode of Inside Inter Miami, hosts Michelle Kaufman and Andre Fernandez review what went wrong in Game 2, how Atlanta has held Messi scoreless, and what can the club do to survive and advance this Saturday in Game 3.

We discuss the profound failure both on and off the field that a season-ending loss this early in the MLS postseason would mean for Inter Miami and the league as a whole.

Kaufman provides updates on Sergio Busquets and Yannick Bright, who are both questionable to play on Saturday and we discuss the impact their absence had in game 2 and would have again in game 3.

We’ll show you what goalkeeper Drake Callender said about the way the team is handling the pressure it faces on Saturday night and coach Tata Martino offers his take on the rumors surrounding Neymar and Angel Di Maria potentially joining the club in the future.
