“We Want Inter Miami in the Champions League!”: NFL Veteran Reacts to Reports Linking Lionel Messi to Inter Miami as Partial Owner/Player

Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee was recently sharing his excitement about PSG superstar Lionel Messi joining Inter Miami in 2023. One of the greatest soccer players of this generation, Messi has been a name synonymous with soccer fans worldwide. The sheer excitement and star power that the former FC Barcelona player brings is unmatched, and McAfee wasn’t holding back his delight for the MLS.

During the recent installment of ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, the former Colts player was not ashamed to share his prediction of the impact on the MLS. He claims that soccer is no longer a European game, but rather it now belongs to the USA.

He also shares his enthusiasm and expectations from the USMNT ( US Men’s National Football Team) to bring home the ‘Soccer Lombardi’ from Qatar in the coming months.

While talking about the influx of European soccer talent in the USA, McAfee states, “Soccer is our f*****g game now. We got Messi coming over. Wait till Ronaldo comes over here. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was already here, obviously. The MLS is about to be a problem. We want Inter Miami in the Champions League starting immediately on Messi’s arrival. You are welcome world. You are welcome soccer. Soccer is our game now.”

What the arrival of Lionel Messi could mean for MLS in the future?

There are reports which seem to be contrasting with McAfee’s celebrations, as Messi’s entourage suggests that the superstar remains undecided. They claim that his future beyond the 2023 Ligue 1 season is still up in the air. But some specific details were reported within the soccer media, which suggest negotiations appear to be underway.

Messi will potentially be looking to buy a 35% stake in the Inter Miami franchise and play in the MLS whenever he decides to leave PSG. The details were first released by DirecTV Sports Argentina correspondent Alex Candal in his report.

It could be a game-changer for the soccer fans following the game in the USA.

While the soccer fans continue to hope to bring a legendary soccer icon like Messi, there is a lot of work remaining. In the meantime, some soccer fans might be tuning in to the world of the NFL. The 2022 NFL campaign kicks off in the coming months and will be putting on a show with their global superstars.
