Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, is set to commence the MLS season against Real Salt Lake on Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Joining Messi will be his long-standing Barcelona teammate, Luis Suarez, marking Messi's inaugural full season with Inter Miami.
The MLS encounter between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake is slated for Wednesday, February 21, with kickoff scheduled for 8 pm (ET)/5 pm (PT). The match will be available for live streaming on Apple TV+. Viewers can catch the action between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV+.
Luis Suarez will make his debut in MLS alongside former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi on Wednesday evening, heightening expectations for Inter Miami as they begin the 2024 season against Real Salt Lake.
Messi, already hailed as one of the greatest players of his era and perhaps of all time, solidified his status by guiding Argentina to victory in the 2022 World Cup and securing his eighth Ballon d'Or last year.
With Suarez's addition, Messi gains a third former Barcelona teammate in Miami's squad, offering a crucial secondary scoring option. Due to the timing of his debut and injury setbacks, Messi's primary goal-scoring contributions in 2023 occurred outside of league fixtures, with Leonardo Campana finishing as Miami's top league goal scorer with nine goals.
Suarez, who has announced this season as his final professional campaign, delivered an impressive performance for Gremio last season in Brazil's top division, scoring 17 goals and providing 11 assists in 36 matches.
While Messi remains the focal point, the arrival of his old attacking partner enhances Inter Miami's status as frontrunners according to oddsmakers for both the MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield.
