Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets & a giant Inter Miami cake! MLS side enjoy end of season party in Florida

Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami team-mates attended an end of season party for 2023 that featured a giant club-themed cake.

The Florida-based outfit missed out on a place in the MLS playoffs, meaning that their campaign was cut short. They did, however, enjoy a historic Leagues Cup triumph within weeks of welcoming all-time great Messi to the United States.

Inter Miami, with Luis Suarez seemingly on his way to join a number of former Barcelona colleagues in America, intend to compete for every major honour up for grabs in 2024. Head coach Tata Martino has revealed that pre-season training will begin on January 10.

Prior to that, a star-studded squad have been letting their hair down. Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Benjamin Cremaschi were among those in attendance at Miami-based restaurant Casadonna, with a giant cake featuring the club’s crest, mini footballs and a goal taking centre stage.

Inter Miami had been due to take in a two-game tour of China after seeing their domestic season come to a close, but that trip to Asia has been cancelled. Instead, Messi and Co will line up against New York City FC on Friday – with their Argentine captain set to parade the eighth Ballon d’Or of his remarkable career – while a friendly with Newell’s Old Boys is expected to be put in place for early 2024.
