Two years after Lionel Messi left the club, the new face of Barcelona is Robert Lewandowski. There was a chance of seeing them together in Spain this season, but the Argentine star ultimately decided to play for Inter Miami in MLS.

Leo’s arrival in South Florida has revolutionized the league, leading to a significant increase in ticket prices, attendances and MLS Pass on Apple TV subsribers. And of course, he delivered magical moments on the field.

That being said, though Messi is undoubtedly the biggest star to ever join the league, Major League Soccer had already attracted world-renowned players in the past. In fact, Lewandowski recently revealed he considered playing there way before Messi’s move.
