MLS: Inter Miami CF Achieves Historic Single-Season Points Record

Inter Miami CF Breaks MLS Record

Inter Miami CF have set the MLS regular-season points record, concluding their 2024 campaign with 74 points following Saturday's 6-2 victory over the New England Revolution.

Dominant Season Performance

Before breaking the MLS single-season points record, Inter Miami won the Supporters' Shield and earned the No. 1 overall seed in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. That guaranteed home-field advantage throughout the postseason and hosting rights for MLS Cup presented by Audi on Dec. 7, should they reach that stage.

Upcoming Playoffs

Up next, Inter Miami host the East Wild Card winner in a Round One Best-of-3 Series that begins with a standalone match on Oct. 25 (8:30 pm ET | Apple TV - Free). This marks the first time Inter Miami has hosted a playoff game in their five-year history.

Star Power in the Roster

Head coach Tata Martino's side looks to become the eighth double-winning team (MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield) in league history, and the first since LAFC's 2022 squad. Inter Miami features one of the strongest rosters in MLS history, led by forwards Lionel Messi (20g/16a) and Luis Suárez (20g/9a). Midfielder Sergio Busquets and left back Jordi Alba complete the club's quartet of FC Barcelona legends.

Youth at the Forefront

  • Paraguayan international Diego Gómez
  • Argentine youth internationals Federico Redondo and Tomás Avilés
  • US international Benjamin Cremaschi
  • Honduran international David Ruiz

Youth has also fueled the Herons' success. Drake Callendar has been a mainstay in goal, while Marcelo Weigandt and David Martínez have each featured heavily in defense.

Offensive Power

Julian Gressel, Leo Campana, Robert Taylor, and Matías Rojas help boost Miami's prolific attack.

Looking Ahead

Inter Miami have secured a place in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup, competing in the continental club competition for a second straight year. Additionally, FIFA awarded the Herons a 2025 Club World Cup spot alongside Seattle Sounders FC. They received the spot allotted to the host country.
