“And Leo, you came in and you won. And that’s something very hard to do. Very, very unusual. And frankly, there’s a lot more pressure put on you than anyone would know because, you know, you’re sort of expected to win but almost nobody wins. They come in, they’re great. They’re the best in the world. They get paid a fortune. You came in and you won with all that pressure. That’s amazing, an amazing tribute. So congratulations. Right? But in that moment, you sealed a truly historic Inter Miami victory. And think of that, first club ever North America to top the so-called European clubs.”
Inter Miami captured the franchise’s first MLS Cup trophy by posting a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on December 6 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
