Landed in Miami with great fanfare, Lionel Messi received a warm message from many sports and entertainment personalities.
It was to be expected by committing to the franchise of the most select footballers, but the video made Lionel Messi smile again. The new face of Inter Miami, David Beckham’s team, the seven-time Ballon d’Or received a very warm, “American-style” welcome, as evidenced by the video posted on the club’s official Twitter account.
Messi was pleasantly surprised to see many public figures welcoming him to America. American sports icons like NBA star Stephen Curry or quarterback Tom Brady or faces of Latin pop culture like music stars J. Balvin, Maluma, Gloria Estefan, DJ Khaled or Marc Anthony rushed to send a message to the Argentinian world champion.
A video that contrasts with his departure from Paris but…
This video obviously contrasts with the starting conditions of Messi, who had left Paris and France by the very small door after being whistled by part of the public at the Parc des Princes on the evening of the final day against Clermont, at the beginning of June. However, it should not make us forget the excitement generated by the arrival of Messi two years ago, when the Argentinian was welcomed like a pope by the supporters of the capital club.
To new beginnings 💫
A special welcome for Leo to our city! pic.twitter.com/jA09IcTQMW
