"Yeah [it's a failure for if Inter Miami don't win MLS Cup]. We have high expectations for ourselves. I feel like we have the highest standard in ourselves and we want to win every trophy possible. Yeah, we want to win."
"I'm very excited about the playoffs. I have confidence in my team; we have the best of all time, and well, we're really excited. But football doesn't always win the best or the one who deserves it most. We have to keep that percentage of luck as low as possible, and whatever work it takes, give everything we have to do our best so that the playoffs go our way."

Rodrigo De Paul stresses confidence in the squad while warning that luck matters and must be minimized through hard work. Lionel Messi missed the first 15 minutes of training on Oct. 21 for unknown reasons. The 2024 first-round playoff exit has motivated the team.
