Imagine being told 12 months ago that Lionel Messi would sign with Inter Miami, and that he wouldn't come alone. No, one of the greatest players of all time, if not the greatest, would bring his friends, too; reuniting a group of Barcelona all-stars to form the greatest super-team MLS has ever seen.
Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba arrived in Florida last summer, and in the past few weeks, Luis Suarez has followed. Add in legitimate MLS talent like Julian Gressel and DeAndre Yedlin, as well as future stars in Benja Cremaschi, Facundo Farias and Tomas Aviles? It would have been an insane thought, and yet it's a reality.
Despite all that, it feels like this is only a taste of Inter Miami's ambition, and their preseason plans prove it. Inter Miami will spend the final months of winter jet-setting all over the world, building their brand while showcasing the GOAT in their line-up. The Herons want to do more than just dominate MLS; they want to become the first true American superpower since the New York Cosmos' heyday.
So that brings us to this question: As Inter Miami gears up for the first full season of this new era, what's next for the club on the path to world domination?
