Lionel Messi‘s quest for MLS Cup glory with Inter Miami hangs on the fresh partnership with fellow Barcelona legend Luis Suarez, reported by GOAL. The duo's reunion in Florida, complemented by the presence of stalwarts like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, has propelled Inter Miami into the limelight. The anticipation surrounding Messi's first full season in the MLS after a historic Leagues Cup triumph in 2023 has brought global attention to the Herons.
In their 2024 MLS season opener against Real Salt Lake, Inter Miami secured a convincing 2-0 victory, showcasing the multifaceted threat posed by Messi and Suarez. Finnish midfielder Taylor highlighted the strategic advantage of having both Messi and Suarez on the field, emphasizing the space they create. He noted, “They link so well together, so they attract a lot of defenders to them, so it leaves space for me also sometimes.”
Taylor himself played a pivotal role in the victory, opening the scoring against Real Salt Lake, with Diego Gomez sealing the deal. Gomez, who joined Inter Miami alongside Messi in July 2023, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play with football legends. He emphasized Tata Martino's confidence in him, stating, “I’m really happy to be here playing with such great players and interact with them and enjoy the experience of being with them.”
As Inter Miami looks to maintain their winning streak in the new MLS season, the dynamic attacking lineup, spearheaded by Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, provides an unpredictable challenge for opponents. With a trip to face the LA Galaxy on the horizon, manager Tata Martino aims to keep the squad in prime condition by judiciously rotating players. The key to Inter Miami's success appears to lie in the collaborative prowess of Messi and Suarez, ensuring the squad evolves into a formidable force rather than a one-man show.
