Live updates: Lionel Messi finally unveiled by Inter Miami

The song that defined Argentina’s World Cup win in Qatar has made its way to Miami, but with a slightly different message.

The original song touched on Argentina’s disappointing World Cup finals losses, and the side’s triumph in Brazil during the 2021 Copa America.

Messi’s signing for Inter Miami has led to Argentine rock band Las Moscas, who sang the original song (it was written by a fan), to alter the lyrics and welcome Messi to the U.S.

He was born in Argentina, and you can see him here. From Rosario to Miami, a path that I admired.

I can’t explain it because you won’t understand. The emotions we’re feeling today because our No. 10 is on his way.

But that has all ended. Leo is already here.

Thank you Barcelona. And thank you Paris.

Muchachos. The dream has come true. Welcome Leo Messi.

This is your new home. La Familia, we can see you from the stands.

With our drums and our flags.

Pulling for Lionel.

The original version finishes with the following line:

Y al Diego en el cielo lo podemos ver / con Don Diego y con la Tota, alentándolo a Lionel

We can see Diego in heaven alongside Don Diego and la Tota (Maradona’s parents), supporting Lionel.
