In the duel with Cruz Azul, Messi immediately shot his team to a 2-1 victory. The Argentinian worked the ball beautifully against the ropes from a free kick. Not only fans in the stadium went completely crazy, also the people at home in front of the television saw his class.
No less than 12.5 million television viewers saw Messi make his debut in the shirt of Inter Maimi, it is reported TyC Sports. Never before have so many Americans tuned in to a football game. Not even at an NBA Finals. For example, the final in basketball in 2022 was viewed worse with 12.4 million viewers.
Good to know is that only television viewers are included in the number. For example, people who watched the match via telephone or tablet have not yet been added to the number.
