The friendly match before the 2024 MLS season between Inter Miami Club and El Salvador team on the morning of January 20 (Vietnam time), is the first match after more than 3 and a half years, the two famous players Messi and Luis Suarez have played together again since time in Barcelona.

Messi and Luis Suarez along with Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets all play in Inter Miami’s main squad. This is also the first time after many years that this “quartet” of famous players from Barcelona Club will play together in the same club shirt.

Their pace seemed a bit slow in the first 45 minutes of the match, before having a few good combinations to create opportunities for Messi to score.
