Lionel Messi has started life as an Inter Miami player in style and has so far scored five goals, apart from providing one assist in three matches for the MLS club.
The 36-year-old is attracting superstar names to the ground to watch him in action. The likes of Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams, DJ Khaled, LeBron James, and more have already attended his games. Maluma becomes the latest mega-star to get in touch with Messi.
During his Inter Miami career, Lionel Messi has so far looked quite unstoppable and teams are yet to find a way to stop his goal-scoring exploits. The Miami-based club has won all of their three matches since Messi's arrival.
Juventus legend Giorgio Chiellini, who currently plays for MLS club LAFC, however, hasn't been surprised by Messi's form. Chiellini thinks it's normal for a player like Messi to produce such numbers.
Chiellini further provided a tip on how teams can do a better job at containing Messi.
Messi's Inter Miami will next play FC Dallas in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup. The buzz surrounding Messi's first away game for the American club is high and tickets for the game have been sold within 10 minutes.
