Preview
Miami rides a playoff high after a historic 4-0 rout of FC Cincinnati in the semifinals, their first Eastern Conference Final appearance.
Messi's renaissance (20+ goals/assists) powers an attack with Suárez (15 goals) and Diego Gómez. Defense stabilized post-Callender's heroics.
NYCFC (5th East, 17-12-5, 56 points) grinded past Charlotte in Round 1 (Best-of-3: 1-0 away win, pens loss, 3-1 away triumph).
Hannes Wolf and Monsef Bakrar lead counters, with Maxi Moralez dictating midfield. Playoff pedigree shines (2021 Cup winners).
