Inter Miami are having a 2024 regular season for the ages. One win away from hitting 20 league wins, the Pink and Black are first overall in MLS, with 62 points, well above the Los Angeles Galaxy with 55. The Galaxy are starting to look like Inter Miami’s biggest threat for the MLS Cup crown.

The club’s biggest stars, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, are among the league’s top goal scorers with 17 and 14 goals, respectively. Despite missing a considerable amount of time due to injury or national team commitments, Messi has 14 assists this season, ranked third in the league.

To top it off, when going down, Tata Martino can rest easy as his team, by a mile, has been the comeback kings of MLS in 2024.
