In the American Professional Soccer League (MLS) this season, Inter Miami is always the most sought after team every time they have the opportunity to compete. No matter how rhythmic or beautiful their playing style is, fans always have a special reason to watch Inter Miami play, and that is none other than the presence of “living legend” Lionel Messi. .

Indeed, the Argentine superstar has brought a huge effect to the “Land of Flowers” country, where football is not loved or favored by the people of this country.

Not only does Lionel Messi bring charisma to the football field, but he also demonstrates his influence in situations that are not related to sports. In the course of his most recent journey to Canada, where he was scheduled to play CF Montreal, the Argentine superstar was surrounded by a group of supporters who not only yelled his name incessantly but also desired to keep in their memory the amazing moments they shared with this player.

Despite this, “El Pulga” has provided ten goals and nine assists, which has enabled Inter Miami to maintain its position at the top of the standings with 27 points.
