The arrival of Lionel Messi in MLS has left a profound impact on the league. Since joining Inter Miami, Messi has not only revitalized the team’s performance but also brought a surge of excitement and interest from both soccer aficionados and entertainment industry heavyweights. This phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by USMNT captain Christian Pulisic, who was quick to acknowledge this transformation.

The signing of the Argentine by Inter Miami has breathed new life into the club and has elevated its standing. Prior to Messi’s arrival, Inter Miami found themselves languishing at the bottom of the league table. However, since partnering with Messi, the team has experienced an impressive winning streak that culminated in their triumph in the Leagues Cup and a recent win for the first time against LAFC. But it is not just Messi’s on-field achievements that have earned acclaim from Pulisic.

Christian Pulisic spoke highly of Lionel Messi’s influence

The allure of a Messi game has become a magnet for celebrities, as witnessed during Inter Miami’s matchup against LAFC. Stars such as Selena Gomez, LeBron James, and Leonardo DiCaprio flocked to the stands to witness Messi’s magic in action. Such a gathering of A-listers serves as a testament to Messi’s global influence and star power.

For Pulisic, this influx of celebrities and attention surrounding Messi’s presence in the MLS is a great boost for American soccer. The AC Milan star recently expressed his admiration for Messi’s impact on American soccer. He stated, “He’s playing in, and MLS and these cups become massive games. It seems like everyone’s there. It’s exciting. It’s fun. Obviously only a positive thing for this country”.

The 24-year-old further added, “So I’m enjoying watching and following that Miami path”. He also acknowledged other players playing their part but also highlighted the remarkable progress Inter Miami has made under his tutelage. “So it’s fun to see how Messi has come in and helped lift the level so much of that team as well,” the midfielder concluded.

Pulisic’s support for Messi’s impact on the MLS is understandable. As a homegrown talent and a pivotal figure in the USMNT, Pulisic recognizes the significance of having a player of Messi’s caliber plying his trade in the MLS. However, he also wants the same kind of attention in USMNT’s matches as evident from his recent cheeky response following the star-studded affair in LA.

He also wrote, “Let them know they’re invited to US national team games too”.
