Inter Miami just made history in Major League Soccer by winning the Eastern Conference and the MLS Cup for the first time in its history, but it is not stopping there and wants more dominance, now in the Concacaf Champions Cup, which will begin in late February 2026. The club is already thinking about strengthening its squad, especially due to the departures of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, who have already announced their retirement from professional soccer.
The imminent reinforcement is Sergio Reguilon, a Spanish footballer with extensive experience in Europe, with Manchester United, Sevilla, Tottenham and Real Madrid, the team where he came through the youth ranks and where he starred in one of the tensest moments of El Clasico with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who would now be his teammates at Inter Miami.

That classic between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid already had a spicy history due to Sergio Ramos’ aggression towards Lionel Messi, but the images that went around the world were where Sergio Reguilon had clashes with two of the Blaugrana team’s top figures.In one of the sequences, the full-back faced Luis Suarez for the friction of the battle, but the Uruguayan, true to his style, was provoking 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,” a phrase that went viral because of 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 face of the Barcelona player’s presence and said: “What’s wrong with you now? What are you itching for? … Flea”. Madrid fans interpreted that the Barca players wanted to distract him and remind him of when he cried after a defeat in the Copa del Rey.

Despite his youth during that intense Clasico stage, Reguilon did not take a step back when he faced Barcelona, a team that had many figures such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, one of the best duos that is still giving results now in the MLS and who were fundamental in Reguilon’s development as a footballer.
Now with his imminent arrival at Inter Miami, after a long spell in Europe, Sergio Reguilon will meet two players with whom he starred in moments of high tension and rivalry in LaLiga.
