Inter Miami striker Luis Suarez has revealed how Lionel Messi obsesses over the performances of his teammates at club level. The Uruguayan striker has played with Messi in two different clubs and can lay claim to knowing the Argentine superstar better than most in his career. Suarez spoke with Sport about his iconic teammate, pointing out that he continues to set incredible personal standards for his teammates in Florida. He revealed that the Argentina international sometimes gets angry at his teammates even if they win games but miss out on personal achievements. “On the pitch he is something unique, something unrepeatable and he continues to do incredible things. He still has that obsession of wanting to continue winning like we all have. But of course, you see him, that spirit he has. There are times when the team wins but he wanted one of his teammates to score and if he didn’t score, Leo gets angry because that player didn’t score. Luis Suarez was at Barcelona between 2014 and 2020, playing alongside Lionel Messi for six years before he left the club to join Atletico Madrid. Both men were reunited in December 2023 when Suarez swapped Gremio for Inter Miami in the MLS, winning the Supporters Shield in their first season together. Suarez and Messi remain key players for Inter Miami as they aim to achieve significant success in the MLS playoffs this season. The 38-year-old Uruguay international has scored 17 goals this season but is coming to the end of his contract and could leave Miami at the end of the campaign. Lionel Messi closing in on significant career milestone Inter Miami superstar Lionel Messi is closing in on a significant career milestone after his goal for Argentina in their friendly win over Angola last week. The 38-year-old was on target as the world champions eased to a 2-0 win over their hosts in Luanda on Friday. Messi’s goal against Angola was his first on African soil and his 895th in professional football, leaving him only five goals shy of the 900-goal mark. The Inter Miami ace recently became the first man to reach 400 career assists, a tally he has since surpassed when he set up Lautaro Martinez in the win over Angola with his 401st assist. Cristiano Ronaldo remains the only footballer with 900+ career goals at the highest level, with the 40-year-old having scored 953 times for club and country. Lionel Messi will hope to reach 900 goals before the end of the year, as he is set to remain active for his club in their pursuit of glory in the MLS playoffs.
