Tadeo Allende, the man helping Lionel Messi lead Inter Miami’s attack into the MLS Cup Final

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It wasn’t Messi who got Inter Miami on the scoresheet for the club’s first conference final.

It was Tadeo Allende, the 26-year-old Argentine only at Inter Miami for one year, on a loan from Spanish club Celta de Vigo, who scored a hat trick in the 5-1 win over New York City FC to send Inter to their first MLS Cup Final.
