Messi scores twice, Inter Miami wins MLS shield

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami will be remembered as the best Major League Soccer team from the 2024 regular season.

Messi scored two goals, Luis Suarez added another goal as Inter Miami withstood a second-half comeback attempt by the defending champion Columbus Crew to win 3-2 and clinch the MLS Supporters’ Shield on Wednesday night.

It’s the second title of the Messi era for Inter Miami, the club which began MLS play in 2020 and gained worldwide attention with Messi’s arrival in July 2023.

Messi helped Inter Miami win Leagues Cup 2023 shortly after his arrival last year, and clinched the 46th title of his storied career by helping Inter Miami win the regular-season title in his first full season with the club.

Messi tapped his first goal in his left foot in the 45th minute, and scored a patented free kick that bended into the net just before halftime (45+4’) to give Inter Miami a 2-0 lead before a dramatic second half.

Luis Suarez scored in the 48th minute, two minutes after Crew star Diego Rossi opened the second half with a goal.
