The Argentina captain was presented as a new player of the MLS club on July 16 on a rainy day at the DRV PNK Stadium. Messi completed a move to the Miami-based side on a free transfer after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired on June 30.
Messi's presentation caused a massive excitement among fans, who were keen to see one of the greatest players to live grace the MLS. US Soccer and the world of US Sports in general is excited to see Messi take the field.

David Beckham sent heartfelt message after Inter Miami signed Lionel Messi
David Beckham has been the co-owner of Inter Miami since 2014, even before the club started competing. However, there's no denying that signing Messi is the biggest moment in the club's history.
Beckham spoke about the importance of the occasion. Speaking about his team securing the signature of Lionel Messi, the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend said (via Evening Standard):
“10 years ago, when I started my journey to build a new team in Miami, I said that I dreamt of bringing the greatest players in the world to this amazing city.
"Players who shared the ambition I had when I joined LA Galaxy to help grow football in the USA and to build a legacy for the next generation in this sport that we love so much."
He added:
“Today, that dream came true. I couldn’t be prouder that a player of Leo’s caliber is joining our club, but I am also delighted to welcome a good friend, an amazing person and his beautiful family to join our Inter Miami community. The next phase of our adventure starts here, and I can’t wait to see Leo take to the pitch.”
Lionel Messi is expected to make his debut for David Beckham's Inter Miami on July 21 against Liga MX side Cruz Azul. The Argentine embarks on a new journey in the MLS after a glowing career in European football.
