Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami Move Dubbed a ‘Rocket Ship to the Moon’ by MLS Legend as America Witnesses a Soccer Revolution

Lionel Messi made jaws drop when he decided to join Inter Miami from PSG. Fresh off winning the World Cup, and Ligue 1, there was no doubt that Messi could’ve played in Europe for 2 more seasons. Yet he decided to join the MLS which is a huge deal because his quality will elevate the league both on and off the pitch.

It’s been just two matches and the rise in sporting quality and media coverage is already visible. But many of us still are in disbelief and shock at the move. Former MLS legend Taylor Twellman is also one among them.

He delved into it further by giving a metaphor of gas and fire. “It’s a rocket ship to the moon,” Twellman said. “Without Messi, everyone was going to be looking at the United States. Then you add the GOAT on top of that? You literally put gas on the fire,” explained Twellman.

Despite taking time to seep in, we need to come to terms with the fact that the G.O.A.T plays in the MLS now. In fact, will soon be seen in action again.
