Inter Miami just made history in Major League Soccer by winning the Eastern Conference and MLS Cup for the first time ever, but it doesn’t stop there as they seek even more dominance in the Concacaf Champions Cup, which begins in late February 2026. The club is already considering strengthening its squad, especially following the departures of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, who have already announced their retirement from professional football.
An immediate addition is Sergio Reguilon, a Spanish footballer who has extensive experience in Europe with Manchester United, Sevilla, Tottenham and Real Madrid. It’s the same team he came through the youth ranks with and starred in one of El Clasico’s most tense moments alongside current Inter Miami team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Clasico where Reguilon faced Messi and Suarez: tension, butts and phrases that made history
This classic match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid already had a sour history due to Sergio Ramos’ aggression towards Lionel Messi, but the image that went around the world was Sergio Reguilon clashing with two of the Blaugrana’s top players. In one of the scenes, the full-backs faced Luis Suárez due to the friction of the fight, but the Uruguayan, true to his style, provoked them with slaps and gestures, to which Reguilon responded: “Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me. You’re the ugly one, you’re the ugly one”, and the phrase quickly went viral due to the tension of the moment.
However, the situation did not end there, as Lionel Messi approached to intervene in the situation, and Reguilon did not back down in the presence of the Barcelona player, saying: “What’s going on now? What are you itching for? … Flea.” Madrid fans interpreted it as Barça players trying to distract him and remind him of when he cried after losing in the Copa del Rey.

Despite being young during that intense Clasico, Reguilon didn’t back down when he played against Barcelona. This team, which included many players such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, was one of the best duos that still achieved results in MLS and formed the basis of Reguilon’s development as a soccer player.
Sergio Reguilon, whose arrival at Inter Miami is imminent after a long spell in Europe, will meet two players with whom he played together in moments of high tension and rivalry in La Liga. With this addition, the Herons hope to remain at the top of MLS and face new challenges such as the Conca Champions, who were eliminated in the semi-finals and quarter-finals last time out.
