Lionel Messi transformed Inter Miami from a bottom-table team to one of the greatest in the history of Major League Soccer. Under his helm, the Herons lifted the 2023 inaugural Leagues Cup trophy, 2024 Supporters' Shield and set the new league record for most points recorded in a single MLS season with 74.
He revolutionized football in Fort Lauderdale in just over a year and a half as Inter Miami captain, and his teammates note Messi's contagious desire for greatness and ability to inspire constant improvement through example.
