Messi may have recently said that he's accomplished all there is to accomplish in football, but there is a host of silverware in North America that he can still add to his trophy cabinet:

Major League Soccer awards two main trophies for the league season, and the MLS Cup is the most prestigious of the two.

With the MLS season split into the regular season and playoffs, the MLS Cup is the award handed out to the champion at the end of the playoffs.

Considered the most coveted trophy of the league season, Lionel Messi can win the MLS Cup if he can help guide Inter Miami to the playoffs. Any team that makes the playoffs has a chance to win MLS Cup if they can survive the bracket.

As of Messi's arrival at Inter Miami, the club sat 14 points away from the final playoff spot up for grabs in the Eastern Conference, with just 11 matches left to make up that ground. It will be a monumental climb for the club.
