Lionel Messi will finally don the Inter Miami jersey, after the Major League Soccer team formally presented him on Sunday.
LEO IS THE NEW NUMBER 10
The stadium lights went out, the chanting stopped, and all eyes were on center stage. “The Revelation” has begun.
Celebrities including Tom Brady, Steph Curry, Marc Anthony and Alejandro Sanz prepared a welcome message for the legend as he made his way to center stage.
As soon as Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas unveiled the new number 10, Leo Messi took the microphone and spoke a few words for the Miami fans:
“First of all I want to thank the people of Miami for all this love and welcome. I am very excited and happy to be here in Miami with you. I want to thank Jorge, David, his family, for the welcome. I really want to start training, to compete, I come here with the desire that I always had to compete, to win, to help the club continue to grow. I hope that during this time they accompany us as they have done since the season began,” Messi said.
“I have no doubt that we will do everything possible to meet the objectives. I am very happy to have chosen this city with my family, to have chosen this project and I have no doubt that we are going to enjoy it very much, we are going to have a great time and very nice things are going to happen. Thank you all very much for this day”, added Messi.
MESSI ARRIVES AT THE BUILDING
Ready? The man everyone was waiting for arrived with his family at the DRV PNK stadium before his big performance.
As we have seen since his arrival in South Florida, Messi was with his wife Antonella and their three children Thiago, Mateo and Ciro.
THE DOORS ARE OPEN
After a short delay due to bad weather, the team finally opened the gates and the celebration began.
The music was loud, the fans were cheering, and the big announcement was only minutes away.
BUSQUETS JOINS MESSI
Inter Miami also introduced Sergio Busquets, who previously played with Messi for FC Barcelona and has agreed deals with the MLS franchise.
MESSI AND BECKHAM JOIN
We also had a very special moment between David Beckham and Lionel Messi before the big presentation.
THE CONCERT
While all eyes were on Messi’s imminent presentation, MLS organized a special evening of entertainment with a Camilo y Osuna concert for all those who decided to ride out the storm and lightning.
