VARIOUS OF STILL OF TEAM POSING FOR TEAM PHOTO STORY: Inter Miami released their official team photo for the 2025 season just as the MLS playoffs heat up.      On hand for the photo were Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi as well as team owners Jorge Mas, Jose Mas and soccer legend and co-owner David Beckham.      Messi has signed a contract extension with Miami through the 2028 season, but some notable faces in the team photo will be gone come 2026.      Both Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets plan to retire from professional soccer at the conclusion of the current season, which will either end with Miami being eliminated from the playoffs or the team hoisting the MLS Cup on December 6.      Luis Suarez’s contract is up at the end of the year, and it remains to be seen if the Uruguayan striker will re-sign with the club.     Coach Javier Mascherano is also expected to return next season with his contract not up until 2027.      Inter Miami currently lead Nashville SC 1-0 in a best-of-three first-round playoff series. Game two is slated for Saturday (November 1) in Nashville.  (Production: Mussab Al-Khairalla, Kurt Michael Hall)
