<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> scored a late equalizer to help <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> snatch a draw against the Los Angeles Galaxy on the road. However, that didn’t prevent the Argentine star to hide the fact time is starting to catch up <strong>to him and his former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> teammates.</strong></p>



<p>Dylan Hernandez of the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> pointed out <strong>how “old”</strong> Messi and the likes of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez">Luis Suarez</a></strong> and <strong>Sergio Busquets</strong> looked at the Dignity Health Sports Park in the team’s second match of the 2024 MLS season. Hernandez made an exception for <strong>Jordi Alba</strong>, who in his opinion “didn’t look as if he was playing with an empty gas tank.”</p>



<p>The author went on to describe Messi and Suarez as “<strong>spectators</strong>” when the opponets had possession, making it look like their team was <strong>down to eight men</strong> in defense. As for Busquets, Hernandez said the Spaniard “<strong>resembled a statue</strong>” on the field, mentioning the early yellow card he got for stopping an opponent.</p>



<p>While this may be one of the few times the former Barca trio gets such criticism for their fitness and performance, <strong>even Busquets himself admitted having physical struggles early in the year.</strong></p>

<h2>Busquets admits pain, Martino feels Messi needs to preserve energy</h2>



<p>“<em>I feel fine a bit better; it was difficult for me after Japan and the injury to find a feeling on the field</em><strong><em>, I’m not 100%. I’m playing through pain,”</em> </strong>Busquets told Franco Panizo.</p>

<p><em>“Am not 100% right now, the injury still bothers me a bit, a<strong>m playing bandaged, but nothing we didn’t know because of the injury, we assumed the risks</strong> (of returning early), and am moving.”</em></p>



<p>Inter Miami coach <strong>Gerardo Martino</strong> knows fitness is a key topic regarding the veteran stars on the squad, and he learned that the hard way in preseason. Messi had to miss exhibition matches due to muscle discomfort, and even though he recovered for the opening MLS week, Martino has noticed Leo <strong>spent too much energy</strong> at the start.</p>



<p><em>“Tata Martino said Lionel Messi <strong>has expended too much energy first two games, aim is for the rest of the team to move ball better so he can focus on finalizing goals and preserving some energy for long season ahead</strong>,”</em> Michelle Kaufman of <em>The Miami Herald</em> reported, via the <em>Daily Mail</em>.</p>



<p>The article by Hernandez points out how the signs of aging in Inter Miami’s veteran stars could be a red flag for this season, since the Herons have <strong>a packed schedule with multiple competitions and flights</strong>. Only time will tell us how this unfolds.</p>

<p>The government in Hong Kong went as far as to probe and question if the fans in attendance deserve a refund. Tata Martino tried to calm waters in his post-game press conference:<br></p>

<p><strong>Aleksandar Mitrovic</strong> opened the score for the Saudi Pro League team 10 minutes into the game, with <strong>Abdullah Al-Hamdan</strong> making it 2-0 just three minutes later.

<h2>Messi scores and assists but Inter Miami lose after he leaves the field</h2>



<p>Inter Miami came back stronger in the second half, with Messir <strong>scoring a spot-kick</strong> to put his side back in the game. The Herons were awarded a penalty after a VAR review due to a foul on David Ruiz. Unsurprisingly, Messi made sure to find the net from the spot with a powerful shot, <strong>putting the ball in the top right corner</strong>.</p>

<p>That goal seemed to give Inter Miami enough confidence to look for the equalizer, with Ruiz <strong>making things level</strong> only a minute after Messi’s goal. The 8x Ballon d’Or winner also had a hand in this goal, as he provided the assist for the 19-year-old.</p>

<p>Furthermore, in a surprising confession, Suarez admitted that Lionel Messi’s great desire was to retire at <strong>FC Barcelona</strong>. That’s why he never thought they would play together in another league like the <strong>MLS</strong>.</p>



<p><em>“Truthfully, I didn’t think we would play together again. I didn’t imagine it because, at first, I thought Leo would finish his career at Barcelona, a team he is grateful for and where he fulfilled everything he wanted. Soccer is like that. Unpredictable. In 2018 or 2019, when we were winning everything, we dreamed of retiring at Barcelona, and I left first. Then, everyone followed. Our reunion says a lot about the friendship we have.”</em></p>

Luis Suarez reveals the team that Lionel Messi had chosen for his retirement

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> is ready to play his first full season with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a></strong>. In 2023, the Argentine’s late arrival was enough to win the <strong>Leagues Cup</strong>, but injuries derailed a final push to make the playoffs.</p>



<p>However, the start of David Beckham’s project was promising with a roster full of veteran stars such as <strong>Jordi Alba</strong> and <strong>Sergio Busquets</strong>. Now, the expectations are higher considering <strong>Luis Suarez</strong> has officially joined the club.</p>



<p>The quest for a championship in the US won’t be easy for Messi. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-crew">Columbus Crew</a></strong> are defending champions, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-fc">LAFC</a></strong> have powerful names such as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlos-vela">Carlos Vela</a></strong> and there are other teams on the rise like <strong>Houston Dynamo</strong>.</p>



<p>A few months before the start of the 2024 season, Artificial Intelligence already has a notion of what to expect from <strong>Inter Miami</strong>. The projection is very surprising and here are all the details.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28100837/lionelmessi-5-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Lionel Messi could win the MLS with Inter Miami." class="wp-image-64144" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi will fight for the MLS Cup with Inter Miami in 2024 according to AI (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Will Inter Miami win the 2024 MLS Cup?</h2>



<p>Although Artificial Intelligence couldn’t go so far as to predict whether <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> and <strong>Inter Miami</strong> will be champions, there is a very revealing piece of information about what their performance will be like in 2024.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="SEO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-money-that-messis-bodyguard-makes-for-taking-care-of-leo-antonela-and-the-argentines-family-20230830-BUS-54611.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230830_BUS_54611_lionelmessi-7.webpu0026amp;width=200u0026amp;height=200" excerpt="According to many reports, the amount of money for Lionel Messi&apos;s bodyguard is just incredible. n" title="The money that Messi&apos;s bodyguard makes for taking care of Leo, Antonela and the Argentine&apos;s family" publication_id="BUS#20230830#BUS#54611"></div>

<p>According to the data collected by AI, Inter Miami <strong>will qualify for the playoffs</strong> in the <strong>Eastern Conference</strong>. This simple fact would already be a significant improvement compared to what happened in 2023.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/not-lionel-messi-or-cristiano-ronaldo-ai-picks-the-best-player-of-all-time-20231224-BUS-94177.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20231224_BUS_94177_lionelmessicristianoronaldo.webpu0026amp;width=200u0026amp;height=200" excerpt="Artificial Intelligence determined who is the best soccer player in history.

<p>Of course, one of the biggest reasons for optimism is the roster’s massive upgrade which now includes <strong>Luis Suarez</strong>. The Uruguayan striker was sensational with Gremio in Brazil and the reunion with Messi, Jordi Alba and <strong>Sergio Busquets</strong> would at least be enough for a playoff ticket. </p>



<h2>Injuries could be a key factor for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami</h2>



<p>So, according to this scenario, it is likely that <strong>Inter Miami</strong> will qualify for the MLS playoffs in 2024 and have a strong performance in the postseason. However, the analysis by AI emphasized that a championship run will depend on various factors, including <strong>injuries</strong>. </p>



<p>As we’ve already mentioned, this was the key element which prevented Inter Miami to reach the playoffs in 2023. When Messi went down, the hot streak was immediately over. </p>

<h2>What team will win the MLS in 2024?</h2>



<p>AI considers that there are several teams which could pose a significant threat to Inter Miami’s aspirations. First and foremost, as expected, <strong>Columbus Crew</strong> as the defending champions.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/us-navy-veterans-are-furious-with-the-bodyguard-of-lionel-messi-20230906-BUS-58330.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230906_BUS_58330_lionelmessi-7.webpu0026amp;width=200u0026amp;height=200" excerpt="The bodyguard of Lionel Messi has become a sensation on social media.

<p>Other teams which could be in the mix during the 2024 MLS season are <strong>LAFC</strong> if they manage to retain <strong>Carlos Vela</strong>, Atlanta United under a rebuilding process led by coach Gonzalo Pineda, <strong>Seattle Sounders</strong> as a recurrent contender and <strong>New York City FC</strong>.</p>

What’s Luis Suarez’s number for Inter Miami? - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez">Luis Suarez</a></strong> has made a strong case to be considered one of the greatest strikers of all time. The Uruguayan superstar has constantly found ways to find the net, regardless of the team or situation. But there’s one thing that persisted for years, which is <strong>his goal celebration</strong>.</p>



<p>If you’ve ever seen Lucho score a goal, chances are you’ve noticed he always celebrates them by <strong>kissing his wrist and three fingers</strong>. The reason is simple, it’s a <strong>tribute to his family</strong>. With that celebration, Suarez <strong>honors his wife Sofia Balbi and their three kids, Delfina, Benjamin and Lautaro. </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084646/Suarez-celebration-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Luis Suarez doing his typical goal celebration at Barcelona" class="wp-image-93865" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Luis Suarez doing his typical goal celebration at Barcelona</figcaption></figure>



<p>Suarez first kisses his ring finger, where his wife’s initials are printed. Then he kisses his wrist, where he has a tattoo that reads the name of his eldest daughter. The striker then completes the celebration by <strong>kissing three fingers to remember the entire family.</strong></p>



<p>The celebration helps Suarez express with a simple gesture how important his loved ones are in his life. So much that Lucho <strong>even got a tattoo of his signature three-finger celebration on his neck.</strong></p>

<h2>Luis Suarez’s track of scoring success</h2>



<p>Before he took his talents to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> to spend his sunset years next to <strong>Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets</strong> in South Beach, Suarez made a name for himself by scoring goals practically anywhere he played.</p>

<p>The Salto-born superstar came through the ranks of <strong>Nacional</strong> in Uruguay, where he made such an impression as a youngster that Dutch side <strong>Groningen</strong> decided to try their luck with him. Just a few months later, he caught <strong>Ajax</strong>‘s eye, and made sure to prove them right.</p>



<p>Suarez took an even bigger step by signing for <strong>Liverpool</strong> in 2011, and only three years later, he joined <strong>Barcelona</strong> in a blockbuster move. He packed his bags to play for <strong>Atletico Madrid</strong> in 2020, until he returned to Nacional for a brief stint before the 2022 World Cup. Lucho’s following tenure at <strong>Gremio</strong> went perfect, and it let him go to Miami knowing he still has enough left in the tank.</p>

Inter Miami: The reason behind Luis Suarez's trademark goal celebration

<p><strong>Luis Suarez</strong> is new player of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> and he will reunite with his great friend, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong>.

<p>Beyond forming a spectacular trident alongside Lionel Messi and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a></strong>, the most important thing for Suarez was the bond of friendship he formed with his teammates, especially with the family of the Argentine.

It was the prefect timing as the star from <strong>Argentina</strong> had just won the <strong>Qatar 2022 World Cup</strong> and was tired of the dynamic at <strong>PSG</strong>.</p>



<p>Messi arrived and immediately conquered the first title in franchise history: the <strong>2023 Leagues Cup</strong>. Of course, and it was all part of Bechkam’s plan, Leo needed help from extraordinary and familiar players such as&nbsp;<strong>Sergio Busquets</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Jordi Alba</strong>. </p>



<p>Now, in a moment where Lionel Messi’s performances would still be inevitably compared with&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a></strong>, David Beckham just made another big splash to help him maintain his status as the best ever.</p>



<p><strong>Luis Suarez</strong> is new player of <strong>Inter Miami</strong> and they are suddenly favorites to claim the <strong>MLS Cup</strong> and other huge titles such as the <strong>Concacaf Champions Cup</strong>. Yes. Anything is possible.</p>

<p>In a detail which caught a lot of attention on social media, <strong>David Beckham</strong> ‘forgot’ to mention <strong>Sergio Busquets</strong>, who was also part of that golden era with <strong>Barcelona</strong>. Although the club did include him in their photos, Beckham made that ‘mistake’ on <strong>Instagram</strong>.</p>

<p>No one can deny that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luis </a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez">Suarez </a></strong>has turned back the clock in his short year stint at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gremio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gremio</a> in Brazil. Winning two local cups and having a banner season as a goal scorer, leader, and inspiration, Suarez and the Gremio supporters were in tears as the fans wished the Uruguayan luck in his future endeavors.</p>



<p>The future? Suarez is mum on that for now, in the press conference the four-time World Cup veteran shed light on some of the health issues that continue to nag him. <em>“The days before each game I take three pills and hours before playing I get an injection. If not, I can’t play. Hence the limp”, </em>were the former Barcelona star’s statement about the difficulties of continuing at the highest level.</p>



<p><em>“I have to think that in maybe five years I won’t be able to play 5-a-side football with my friends. The truth is that the first steps in the morning are very painful. Anyone who sees me thinks it’s impossible for me to play a game. My son tells me asks to play with him and I can’t.”</em></p>



<h2>Concerns for Inter Miami?</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> </strong>is the rumored destination for Luis Suarez, there has been interest from both sides for the greatest player in Uruguayan soccer history to join the side that has friends Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets already on the roster.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/gremio-manager-with-message-to-luis-suarez-that-indicates-big-move-20231201-BUS-89075.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20231201_BUS_89075_Luis-Suarez.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="With two games left in 2023, Gremio’s manager Renato Gaucho is starting to think about life without Luis Suarez.

<p>The team also has very good young promising prospects in Drake Callender, Tomás Avilés, Facundo Farías, Benjamin Cremaschi, and David Ruiz. Still, even with Messi, Inter Miami wilted down the stretch of the season in 2023, after a sensational start in the Leagues Cup, by the time the team made it back to MLS play, the uphill trend crumbled.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121930/Luis-Suarez-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="Luis Suárez" class="wp-image-3074" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Luis Suárez</figcaption></figure>



<p>If Suarez does indeed sign with Inter Miami, he would be 36, along with Messi (36), Busquets (35), and Alba (34) the back bone of the team would be the oldest in MLS come 2024 without question. Playing in different time zones, humid and hot weather, and artificial turf may take a lot out of these players, especially Suarez who has had knee issues for the last 4 years.</p>



<h2>Luis Suarez back on Uruguay national team</h2>



<p>Still despite the concerns over his knee, Suarez is back with the Uruguayan national team, and in a highly competitive league like Brazil has left little doubt over his inclusion on Marcelo Bielsa’s side.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28102033/Suarez-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-57839" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Luis Suarez of Uruguay</figcaption></figure>



<p>Suarez is still hopeful to make the 2024 Copa America, like Messi, and a good showing in MLS will be key, as Bielsa prefers younger players than to older experienced ones. Still the obsessive Argentine manager understands Suarez’s place in Uruguayan football and wants to give him a proper send off.</p>



<p>Time will tell if Luis Suarez, who is without question one of the best strikers of his era and of all time, along with Messi will be the central pieces for Inter Miami if the transfer does indeed happen in 2024.</p>

<p><em><strong>“We are going to miss him, for sure. He was very loved by everyone. I had the pleasure of working with a great professional, one of the four best forwards in the world. There will be a void” </strong></em>were the parting words by Gaucho on Suarez who has been courted by Inter Miami for some time.</p>

<p>While Inter Miami have been silent on the prospects of bringing Suarez, MLS clubs are known for not divulging anything about a signing until they themselves hold the press conference, the move to part ways with striker Josef Martínez was a clear signing a big-name striker was heading to Miami.</p>



<h2>What’s next for Inter Miami?</h2>



<p>If Luis Suarez does sign with Inter Miami, January will be a busy month, as the club will play two international friendlies, one in Texas against Argentine power River Plate and one in El Salvador against the national team.<br></p>
