Alba delivered a cross to Suarez, who was making a run towards the El Salvador goal. Suarez then diverted the pass to Busquets, who was positioned outside the penalty box.

Busquets immediately looked for Messi, dishing out a one-touch pass to the Argentine star.

Messi returned the ball to Busquets, who made a great run in the box. The ball didn’t stay long with the midfielder, with Busquets passing it back to a wide-open Messi.

He had a wonderful opportunity to give Inter Miami a 1-0 lead, but his left-footed effort was spectacularly saved by the El Salvador goalkeeper.

The rebound fell to Messi, but his attempt was saved again by the keeper.

Messi and Suarez failed to score a goal in this contest as they were substituted at the break.

Fans react to Suarez and Messi reunion

Fans can’t get enough of the reunited Barca teammates, who won numerous titles during their time in Spain.

One fan said that he can’t believe he’s witnessing Messi and Suarez on the same pitch again.

Another fan posted a gif of a crying Lionel Scaloni with the caption: “Messi and Suarez are playing together.”
