Landing Lionel Messi has definitely been a game-changer for Inter Miami. David Beckham had already attracted world-renowned players to his MLS team, but pulling off the Argentine star’s arrival took the franchise to another level.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has made an impact both on and off the field in South Florida. While the Herons won their first ever title in the Leagues Cup, ticket and jersey sales went through the roof as well as the team’s social media followers.

This is what the Englishman had envisioned for a long time until he finally found the opportunity to get Messi to South Beach this summer. Of course, they got to know each other better since then.
