“We’re a top team”: Inter Miami bolster playoff credentials vs. Toronto FC

With just eight games remaining in the regular season, it’s the right time of year to be clicking. There’s a new level of determination and belief within the dressing room to succeed after 10th-place (2020) and 11th-place (2021) finishes their first two seasons. The expansion year brought a playoff berth in an expanded field, but expectations had largely fallen flat.

“How hungry? I mean, we’re like somebody that hasn’t eaten for weeks. That’s how badly we want this. We believe that we’re a top team,” said Lowe.

Added the center back: “We built a culture, on and off the field, a brotherhood you know? Being your brother’s keeper, looking out for each other. This is a massive club, and from day one, we knew that … we want to be a top team in the league.”
