Inter Miami’s 2024 campaign has officially come to a close, as they were eliminated from playoff contention following a 3-2 defeat to Atlanta United. In a hard-fought match, Lionel Messi’s late header added a glimmer of hope, but it was not enough to overcome Atlanta’s three-goal advantage.
This season marked a transformative period for Inter Miami, largely fueled by Messi’s midseason arrival, which sparked a dramatic turnaround and brought new energy to the squad. Under his influence, the team saw a resurgence in form, rising from the bottom of the standings and pushing for a playoff spot. Yet, despite Messi’s brilliance and influence, Miami ultimately fell short.
Inter Miami will now shift its focus to regrouping and preparing for the next season, aiming to build on the progress made with Messi leading the charge. Fans and the club alike will be hopeful that with additional adjustments and a full season under Messi’s leadership, Miami can come back stronger in 2025, looking to establish themselves as serious contenders in Major League Soccer.
