Lionel Messi remains one of the sport’s greatest names. The Barcelona legend made a name for himself at Barcelona, establishing himself as one of the greatest players ever to play the game. He became the first player in the game’s history to win four consecutive Ballon d’Or awards, a feat no other player has managed to match.
The Argentine’s exploits in football have been nothing but remarkable. Regarded as one of the few players ever to complete football, Messi has won all there is to win in football. He set a remarkable record of seven Ballon d’Or awards in 2021 before lifting the World Cup with his country last year.
With his Inter Miami unveiling now done and dusted, all eyes are on Inter Miami and the Argentine for his much-awaited debut in the MLS, most likely the club’s opening game against Cruz Azul on Friday.
Tickets for Lionel Messi’s US Debut Cost as Much as $110,000

Whatever price you get your ticket for, be prepared to see football’s greatest player put on a show on Friday when Inter Miami meets Cruz Azul in the club’s opening game of the MLS season.
