In a span of just over five-and-a-half years, Major League Soccer‘s (MLS) Inter Miami has 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 has 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.

The top scorers in Inter Miami’s history:

10. Robbie Robinson: 6 Goals

This 24-year-old, previously honoured with the Hermann Trophy in 2019, launched his Miami career in 2020. Though not a consistent starter, Robinson has shown flashes of brilliance off the bench. In 52 appearances, he netted six and assisted twice.

9. Brek Shea: 6 Goals

Joining Miami in June 2020, Shea, primarily a left-winger, represented Miami in 47 fixtures, securing six goals. All his goals were in the MLS. By January 2023, Shea had bid farewell to his professional soccer journey.

8. Ariel Lassiter: 6 Goals

December 2021 saw Lassiter move from the Houston Dynamo to Miami. This versatile winger played 41 times for Miami, accumulating six goals. After being deemed surplus by early 2023, he transferred to Montreal.

7. Rodolfo Pizarro: 7 Goals

Pizarro’s arrival in 2020 was marked by an $11.98 million price tag. Over two seasons, he played 62 matches, scoring seven times. After a brief loan spell with Monterrey, he transitioned to AEK Athens by mid-2022.

6. Lewis Morgan: 7 Goals

Purchased from Celtic in 2020, Morgan’s Miami tenure lasted until late 2021. Throughout, he recorded seven goals and seven assists in 58 matches. A $1.2 million deal later, Morgan found himself impressing for the New York Red Bulls.

5. Josef Martinez: 7 Goals

4. Robert Taylor: 8 Goals

Taylor, acquired from SK Brann in 2022, has quickly become a staple in Miami’s attack. In 64 games, he’s scored eight goals, showcasing impressive chemistry with Messi. His contract runs out in late 2023.

3. Lionel Messi: 22 Goals

Even after just four games with Miami, Lionel Messi’s name resonates. Scoring nine times, he’s already a club legend. This Ballon d’Or winner’s journey began with a free-kick stunner against Cruz Azul. Given Messi’s form, his rise in Miami seems unstoppable. Messi is closing on the top two scorers, including his former Argentine teammate.

2. Leonardo Campana: 25 Goals

Inter Miami’s journey, although brief, has been filled with awe-inspiring tales of ambition, resilience, and sporting prowess. These top goal-scorers not only represent the club’s meteoric rise but also embody the ethos of what the team stands for. With each goal scored, a new chapter in the club’s legacy is written.
