Inter Miami officially unveiled Lionel Messi at their stadium in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday evening. The event, called “The Unveil,” was accompanied by a storm that caused fans to seek shelter and left puddles on the field. Messi recently ended his tenure with Barcelona and signed with Inter Miami for the 2025 season. This week, he will have his first official training session and may make his debut in a league cup match against Cruz Azul. Inter Miami has been struggling in the Major League Soccer (MLS) with a winless streak of 11 games. They have 12 matches left in the season and are currently 12 points away from the playoff zone. Messi’s deal with Inter Miami is for two seasons and is reportedly worth between $125 million and $150 million in cash. Sergio Busquets, Messi’s former teammate at Barcelona, has also signed with Inter Miami. Messi’s greatness as a player is widely acknowledged, and he recently led Argentina to the World Cup finals.
