<p>The former Barcelona team-mates, who have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-luis-suarez-looking-like-did-in-barcelona-goalless-two-games-start-inter-miami-2024-pre-season/blte7b366c193ddb3e1" target="_blank">reunited in Florida for 2024,</a> have enjoyed productive starts to the current campaign. Eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi has been at his mercurial best, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/magical-lionel-messi-personal-history-career-firsts-inter-miami-superstar-six-goal-showing-new-york-red-bulls/blt85182914370c19b8" target="_blank">six goal contributions posted in his latest outing against the New York Red Bulls</a>.</p><div class="affiliate-button-container theme-1" data-name="Apple TV"><div class="affiliate-button"><img class="logo" height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2de198b67da95a2e/65709d2436cf7d0407034ef9/Apple_TV.png" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Get the MLS Season Pass today!</span></div><a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=goal_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l39UY" class="affiliate-button-link" target="_blank">Stream games now</a></div>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Having found the target in that contest, while contributing five assists, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-best-qualities-highlighted-mls-rival-masterclass-inter-miami-new-england-revolution/blt6c726b4d51ec92a2" target="_blank">Messi is up to 10 MLS goals for the season</a>. That return has been matched by Uruguayan frontman Suarez – who netted a hat-trick against the Red Bulls.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>They <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mls-top-scorers-2024/blt5c51f607e7939ebf" target="_blank">top the scoring charts at present</a> but, with a long way to go, Suarez has said in the <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mls/inter-miami/article288336815.html " target="_blank"><em>Miami Herald</em></a> when asked if he is determined to best his legendary colleague and claim a prestigious individual prize: “No, no. It’s not like that. We played together for a long time at Barcelona, and it was always like this, each helping the other. In 2015-16, Leo and Neymar helped me win the Golden Boot. The competition is to see your team-mate happy and work together to win. Note that [against the Red Bulls], Leo broke a league mark with five assists, something that had not been seen before, and that shows what kind of team-mate he is.” </p>

WHAT SUAREZ SAID

<p>Messi won the Pichini Trophy, as the top scorer in La Liga, on eight occasions during his time at Barcelona – along with six Golden Shoes. Suarez, meanwhile, has previously claimed Golden Boot honours in the Netherlands, England and Spain – with Ajax, Liverpool and Barca.</p>
