Inter Miami’s squad has undergone several changes, with departures like Federico Redondo and new arrivals such as Rodrigo De Paul, their latest signing. Now, Lionel Messi could be set to lose another teammate, as Honduran midfielder David Ruiz is being linked with a potential move during this transfer window.

The 2025 Major League Soccer season continued to add star power on Matchday 29, as Thomas Müller made his debut with the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Revolution have tried to develop a competitive squad, but can’t match the ambition of LAFC or Inter Miami.

Even without hitting his top form, Lionel Messi made a significant impact by scoring a crucial goal against LA Galaxy. Inter Miami’s star performance not only highlights his skill but also nudges him closer to securing another prestigious MLS award.

But Inter Miami are unlike any club MLS has seen since its inaugural season 28 years ago. Their success won’t be measured based solely on what they do on the pitch.

From Landon Donovan MLS MVP candidates to league newcomers, stars showed out to earn their spot in the Matchday 29 Team of the Matchday presented by Audi.

Drake Callender, who led Inter Miami to the 2023 Leagues Cup title and 2024 Supporters Shield, was traded to Charlotte FC.
