'I could cry from happiness' - Messi photo sends fans wild as Barca icons unite

After joining Inter Miami last summer, Lionel Messi was quickly joined by Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and now Luis Suarez ahead of the 2024 MLS season.

The quartet enjoyed an abundance of success during their spells at Barca, where they won multiple LaLiga titles, Copa del Reys and the Champions League in 2015.

And now they are back playing alongside each other again in America as they aim to guide Inter to a first MLS Cup.

Messi inspired Miami to their first piece of silverware last term, as he scored ten goals in their successful Leagues Cup campaign.

With striker Suarez now joining Inter on a free transfer, fans believe there will be no stopping the Herons.
