The Star-Studded Attendance at Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami Debut

The embrace of Lionel Messi and LeBron James

Inter Miami began its journey in the Leagues Cup with its commitment against Cruz Azul at the DRV PNK Stadium, but all the flashes were taken by Lionel Messi. The brand new reinforcement of the franchise that plays in Major League Soccer (MLS) was summoned for the first time for an official meeting of this club and multiple stars from different fields wanted to be at this historic event.

Without a doubt, the most outstanding name was that of LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers basketball player took time out of his busy schedule before the start of the NBA regular season. The cameras of the official transmission captured him in the vicinity of the pitch and he had the privilege of hugging Leo, whom he met minutes before the start of the duel. This event occurred when the teams were leaving the field, when the star was going to take his reserved place on the substitute bench.

Kim Kardashian was another of the personalities that stood out in a stadium that brought together the American singer Marc Anthony and the renowned actor, Fisher Stevens, in the same place. In addition, Rebbeca Marie Gomez, better known as Becky G, was the main guest of the appointment to sing the anthem before Héctor Said Martínez’s initial whistle.

With the start of the match, Diego Valeri watched every move of the 10, as the top Argentine scorer in MLS was the main commentator on the Spanish-language broadcast for Apple TV. Next to him, he had Maximiliano Rodríguez, who arrived at the place in advance and was seen giving Messi an affectionate hug when he arrived.

At the level of Argentine personalities, the most outstanding name was that of the host Marcelo Tinelli, who offered his testimony for ESPN, where he attested to the excellent relationship he has with his friend: “He is an example. Not only for having won the World Cup in Qatar. He didn’t have such a good time in Paris. All the whistling that there was towards the greatest in the world in the last game hurt me a lot, but for me it had to do with the final between Argentina and France. They were hot against the match we beat them. I love that he is here, relaxed and with the family. We are here to support you.”

It should be noted that in the preview of the event David Beckham, one of the owners of the Miami franchise, could be seen giving the final touches in the VIP sector of the stadium. The ex-soccer player had a crucial role in the landing of the Rosario and, days ago, had shown his joy in a chat with ESPN: “From the moment Lio landed a few meters from here, it has been a roller coaster. We wanted everything to be perfect from the moment it arrived. The presentation, the other incredible night… seeing 20,000 fans in the stadium and seeing the eyes of the world on our club, on this league and on this sport was an incredible moment”.

One of the founders of the Florida institution joined Tom Brady and Serena Williams. The greatest Super Bowl winner in history, he is also the best player that American football exhibited, took advantage of the proximity to the event to stand in the stands of the stadium. In addition, the tennis player was one of the main absentees from Wimbledon, but the world soccer benchmark was a more than valid reason to move to the city located in Florida, the state in which she resides.
