There are few athletes as iconic as soccer star Lionel Messi. Now that he’s landed in Miami as Inter Miami FC’s biggest star, Messi is well-poised to make American soccer the biggest game in town.
Whether you are or aren’t a soccer devotee, you’ll want to become one now. The 37-year-old Argentine superstar has won 43 career trophies, including the formerly-elusive World Cup, which he and his Argentine teammates won at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. He joins a rarified group of athletes known to the world by just one name. And he’s about to make his Inter Miami FC debut on Friday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m. EDT.
Want to watch? You’ll need Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass. And it’s just been discounted by 50% ahead of Messi’s big debut.
It’s time to get into the pink. It’s Messi time in Miami.
