It’s time for a soccer revolution in America. Just weeks ago, Lionel Messi arrived in the US and signed a deal with Inter Miami. The Argentine legend has just played three games and has already driven the fanbase crazy. At all his games, tons of celebrities also turn up to watch the game. Before the last game against Orlando City, a renowned Floridian rapper made a request to every sports fan surrounding Messi.

NBA and NFL are something that Americans are quite fond of. The rapper urged the local residents to show Inter Miami the same love as the Miami Heat and Miami Dolphins.

On Messi’s soccer debut in America, tons of celebrities and sports persons turned up. Massive names like LeBron James, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, Becky G, and many more witnessed the game in person. Inter Miami’s owner David Beckham was in tears after the soccer veteran banged in a winner during the dying seconds of the game. That atmosphere was something that nobody had ever felt before.

Rick Ross was another big name who has been attending Messi’s games. He was present for today’s win against Orlando City as well. Prior to the game, a reporter approached him for his thoughts on the whole situation in general. He said, “This has changed the entire energy of the state… We’re having a lot of fun. I’m just supporting the city, I’m supporting the movement, I’m supporting David Beckham”.

“And most definitely let Leo Messi know he’s welcome in Miami.” He termed the current times as a ‘special moment’. The $150 million rich rapper then made a humble appeal to the sports fans. He quoted, “Everyone in Miami, I suggest you come out and catch one of these games and at least one. This is a part of a movement now. Same way we go to the Heat games, Dolphin games, we’re right here in Miami.

Would you believe that Messi still hasn’t made his MLS debut yet? Since his arrival, all three games have been in the League Cup. With their current form, Inter Miami is looking like a strong contender to go all the way. But there’s still a lot of work left to do in the league. After a dismal start to the season, the Miami-based club is currently at the bottom of the league standings.

Looking at his current form, the fanbase could start fancying some silverware within this season. Something that they wouldn’t have thought about a month ago. Such has been Messi’s impact.
