Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, will commence their MLS season against Real Salt Lake in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Wednesday. This marks Messi’s inaugural full season with the team, accompanied by his longtime Barcelona teammate, Luis Suarez. The Inter Miami vs Real Salt Lake is set for Wednesday, February 21, with kick-off scheduled at 6:30 am IST. Fans can catch the action live on Apple TV+, accessible through MLS Season Pass.
Suarez, making his MLS debut alongside Messi, heightens expectations for Inter Miami in the 2024 season opener against Real Salt Lake.
Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, enters the season after a triumphant 2022 World Cup win with Argentina and his eighth Ballon d’Or victory.
The addition of Suarez provides Messi with another potent scoring option, addressing a need for secondary goal-scoring.
While Messi remains the focal point, Suarez’s arrival bolsters Miami’s attack, enhancing their odds as favourites for the MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield. Suarez’s impressive record of 17 goals and 11 assists for Gremio in Brazil’s top division last season adds further depth to Miami’s arsenal.
