Inter Miami come off a remarkably successful season, collecting major silverware and showcasing a strong collective identity throughout the year. While much of the spotlight naturally fell on Lionel Messi and his unforgettable campaign, the Argentine star showed his trademark humility with a brief message in English that shifted the focus back to the team.
On Instagram, the account 433 shared a post highlighting Messi’s extraordinary season with Inter Miami, emphasizing both the trophies won and his individual numbers. The post celebrated what many viewed as one of the most dominant individual seasons in Major League Soccer history.
Messi responded directly in the comments, making it clear that the success belonged to Inter Miami as a whole, not just to him. “Inter Miami’s season,” Messi wrote, adding a thumbs-up emoji. The short message underscored his desire to share credit and reinforce the collective nature of the achievements.
There is no question Messi played a decisive role in Inter Miami’s trophy haul. The teams captured the MLS Cup, and Messi was rewarded individually with the MLS Season MVP, MLS Cup MVP, and the Golden Boot. Inter Miami also finished as Eastern Conference champions, an achievement that, while not an official title, reflected their dominance over the course of the season.
