Lionel Messi headlines a strong Inter Miami contingent selected for the 2024 MLS All-Star Game, which takes place on July 24th in Columbus, Ohio.
The Argentine superstar will be joined by teammates Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez in facing off against the Mexican League All-Stars.
This marks the first All-Star appearance for all four Inter Miami players. Messi, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, has been a revelation in MLS, leading the league in scoring with 12 goals and 13 assists in his first 12 games.
This dominance extends to the team level, with Inter Miami currently sitting atop the MLS standings with a record of 13 wins, 3 losses, and 5 draws.
The 30-man All-Star roster was determined through a combination of fan, media, and player voting, alongside selections by All-Star coach Wilfried Nancy of the host Columbus Crew, the reigning MLS champions.
Joining Messi and his Inter Miami teammates are other MLS luminaries, including 2023 MVP Luciano Acosta (FC Cincinnati), 2023 scoring champion Denis Bouanga (Los Angeles FC), and top forwards like Chicho Arango (Real Salt Lake), Diego Rossi and Juan Hernandez (Columbus Crew), Christian Benteke (DC United), and Federico Bernardeschi (Toronto FC).
This MLS All-Star Game promises to be a clash of titans, with Messi and his fellow MLS stars looking to shine against their Mexican counterparts.
