Just moments ago, Inter Miami hosted their MLS game against Nashville SC, which somehow ended in a stalemate. Lionel Messi and Co failed to extend their winning streak as both sides agreed to split the points. Interestingly, aside from the typical fans, Floyd Mayweather also came to watch the Argentinian superstar, which drew numerous reactions from the fanbase.
Notably, this was the same side that they defeated in the Leagues Cup final to win their first trophy. However, this time their magic didn’t work as they failed to clinch the important three points.

The trend of stars coming to watch Messi play continues as it was yet another star-studded crowd at Inter Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium. This time is was the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, who turned up to see Messi’s first MLS home game. Aside from him, MLB icon Ken Griffey Jr. also made his way to watch David Beckham’s soccer franchise in action.
Notably, before the start of the match, the X’s official MLS social media account shared both Mayweather Jr. and MLB Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. Their appearance, especially of Mayweather, has somehow caught the eye of fans, who can’t stop reacting on Twitter.
Certainly, his arrival had to bring up the GOAT chants.

Indeed, it’s good to see Mayweather make time to see Messi and co in action. Although it won’t be the performance the 36-year-old would have wanted the former boxer to see, his arrival was definitely mesmerizing for many. Speaking of the game, Miami surprisingly drew blank!

It wasn’t the game many expected it to be but both Inter Miami and Lionel Messi drew blank against Nashville. Despite having a higher possession, they couldn’t get the expected result. As for Messi, even after playing from the start till hearing the referee’s whistle at the end, he could not find back at the net.
Perhaps it wasn’t their day as they agreed to just take a point at home. For now, they are sitting in 14th place with just 22 points. Today’s result will surely derail their chances of pushing for the play-offs. Although they are still unbeaten since Messi’s arrival, the outcome is definitely a disappointing one. Certainly, Tata Martino’s side will reflect on the game and try to bounce back in the next fixture.
