In a span of just over five-and-a-half years, Major League Soccer‘s (MLS) Inter Miami have captured the imagination of fans across America and beyond. Nestled in the vibrant city of Miami and boasting a significant pedigree with David Beckham as its co-owner, this club promised excitement right from its inception.

While there were many sceptics who questioned the potential of yet another new club in the crowded American soccer scene, Inter Miami have swiftly dispelled doubts. A blend of young talent and seasoned professionals, the team offers a glimpse into the evolving landscape of MLS.

David Beckham’s venture, in particular, has proven that with the right vision, even a newcomer can quickly become a focal point in the league. Today, the narrative will revolve around those players who made Miami’s short yet impactful journey memorable.

In the heart of the game, it’s the goals that often capture the most attention. Let’s dive into the top goal-scorers who’ve donned the Miami jersey since its 2020 debut.
