Where does Inter Miami stand on the MLS rankings after winning against Los Angeles?

Since returning to MLS, Inter Miami has won 7 out of 10 points in 3 matches. They defeated New York Red Bulls 2-0, drew 0-0 with Nashville and won 3-1 against Los Angeles FC. Against the defending champion of the tournament, Lionel Messi did not score but had 2 assists for his teammates.

These results brought the pink shirt team to 14th/15th place in the MLS Eastern rankings with 25 points. That is a significant improvement considering that they did not win 11 consecutive matches before Messi arrived.

Although still ranked very low, the important thing is that Inter Miami has closed the gap with the group participating in the MLS Play-offs round. Specifically, Lionel Messi and his teammates are only 8 points behind DC United (33) in 9th place - which won the last spot to compete for tickets to the knockout round. If calculating the final direct ticket, this distance is 15 points (Nashville 40 points).

Despite the fact that Inter Miami is still a long way off, they have played 2 fewer games than their opponents (25 vs 27) so hope is still there.

Of course, teachers and students Gerardo Martino cannot completely determine their own fate, but also look forward to other beneficial results. In the immediate future, they face the challenge of playing the next two games against Sporting KC and Atlanta City without Messi and many other stars, who will gather the team right after this trip to Los Angeles.
