On Messi’s soccer debut in America, tons of celebrities and sports persons turned up. Massive names like LeBron James, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, Becky G, and many more witnessed the game in person. Inter Miami’s owner David Beckham was in tears after the soccer veteran banged in a winner during the dying seconds of the game. That atmosphere was something that nobody had ever felt before.

Rick Ross was another big name who has been attending Messi’s games. He was present for today’s win against Orlando City as well. Prior to the game, a reporter approached him for his thoughts on the whole situation in general. He said, “This has changed the entire energy of the state… We’re having a lot of fun. I’m just supporting the city, I’m supporting the movement, I’m supporting David Beckham”.

He quoted, “Everyone in Miami, I suggest you come out and catch one of these games and at least one. This is a part of a movement now. Same way we go to the Heat games, Dolphin games, we’re right here in Miami.

Just moments after Rick Ross’ appeal to the sports fans in Miami, Lionel Messi triumphed again. In a second consecutive game, he scored two goals.

Would you believe that Messi still hasn’t made his MLS debut yet? Since his arrival, all three games have been in the League Cup. With their current form, Inter Miami is looking like a strong contender to go all the way. But there’s still a lot of work left to do in the league. After a dismal start to the season, the Miami-based club is currently at the bottom of the league standings.
