No one wanted to miss Lionel Messi’s debut with Inter Miami and that is why, in addition to stands full of fans of the 10 Argentine team, the DRV PNK stadium was decked out with celebrities who came to see the best in the world.
A whole collection of celebrities came to the Inter stadium to welcome the new sports star from Miami, a city immersed in ‘Messimania’ since the announcement of his signing in June.
NBA superstar LeBron James, current leader of the Los Angeles Lakers and winner of two titles in his time with the Miami Heat, melted into a long hug with Messi just minutes before the initial whistle.
Other sports figures, such as tennis player Serena Williams, and music figures, such as Marc Anthony, also shone in the stands, all of them received by David Beckham, co-owner of Inter, and his wife Victoria.
Kim Kardashian was also present, who arrived with her son dressed in Messi’s shirt, flags and banners, to welcome the Argentine star.
The expected debut
At half-time, Messi took part in the substitutes’ warm-up and, with more than half an hour of play to go, entered the pitch to the applause of the crazed Inter fans.
Finally, after 55 minutes and when Inter Miami was already leading 1-0 with a goal from Robi Taylor (he scored at 43) after a cross from mid-distance shot that went to the back of Cruz Azul’s goal, Messi settled in midfield and the stadium erupted with euphoria for the entry of the best player in the world and Ballon d’Or winner seven times.
At minute 94, Lionel Messi scored his first goal for Inter in the 2-1 victory against Cruz Azul, after taking a masterful free kick, to end the night with a flourish.
