After an impressive preseason with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is eager to lead his team to triumph in both the Club World Cup and the upcoming MLS season. As the soccer world watches closely, Messi’s ambition and drive for success remain at the forefront of Inter Miami's goals for the year.
Inter Miami’s 2024 achievements and challenges
The 2024 season saw Inter Miami finish at the top of the regular-season standings, claiming the prestigious Supporters' Shield for the first time in the club’s history. Messi played a pivotal role in their success, helping propel them to this remarkable achievement. However, the team faced disappointment in the MLS postseason. Despite their stellar regular-season performance, Inter Miami struggled to carry that form into the MLS Cup playoffs, where they were eliminated in the first round.
Messi’s individual success in 2024
On a personal level, Lionel Messi had a standout year. The Argentine forward scored an impressive 23 goals in just 25 appearances across all competitions, solidifying his status as one of the world’s top players. His contributions were crucial to Inter Miami's rise, but the postseason exit showed that more work is needed to turn regular-season success into championship glory.
