Inter Miami has embarked on a journey of dominance in Major League Soccer, starting 2024 with a familiar quartet: Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets. These former Barcelona teammates are now celebrated alongside their newest accolade, the prestigious MLS Supporters Shield.

The team's recent victory over the Columbus Crew ensured their position as the No. 1 seed for the MLS Cup playoffs. The spotlight shone brightly on this matchup, one of the most anticipated of the season. Messi, with his impressive record of 17 goals in as many matches, highlighted the 3-2 triumph along with Suarez and goalkeeper Drake Callender.

Inter Miami's rise wasn't just about stellar player signings. Messi's strategic move to South Florida and the subsequent additions of Busquets, Alba, and Suarez fortified the team's status as MLS Cup contenders. Still, as Messi himself noted, there's more history to be made as the franchise continues its quest for the MLS Cup.
