There are any number of ways for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami to wrap up the Supporters' Shield and claim the No. 1 overall seed for the MLS Cup playoffs that start later this month.

After a disappointing spell at Paris Saint-Germain in comparison to his usually incredible standards, Messi moved to Inter Miami last summer with a point to prove and boy, has he done just that. In 32 appearances for the club, he's recorded 44 goal contributions. That's quite the return from a player who turned 37 years old in June.

Inter Miami’s La Familia, the pulsating pink pack of ardent supporters, rocked the north stands of Chase Stadium Saturday night, singing, banging drums, doing their part to energize Lionel Messi and his teammates in a critical home game against Charlotte FC.
