It's going to be a very busy spring, summer, and fall for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, who are led by Javier Mascherano in their defense of the Supporters' Shield and quest for a first MLS Cup.

With their victory over Sporting Kansas City Tuesday to make it to the last 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup, Inter Miami's competition participation for this season is set. Javier Mascherano will oversee quite a packed schedule while his Herons will also have high expectations to win or at least be competitive in all of their competitions.

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will hope to be just the fourth MLS team ever to win the CONCACAF Champions Cup as they battle with some of the continent's biggest clubs.
