Joy, celebrity fans and suspect defending: Lionel Messi’s first few weeks in Miami

The Argentinian has transformed his new team since he arrived in the US. And the effects are being felt beyond his new home in south Florida

Nearly every Inter Miami match is now a home match

Forty minutes was all Lionel Messi needed to truly settle into his new home. The Argentinian marked his Inter Miami debut with a free-kick winner off the bench. Every match Messi has played at DRV PNK Stadium since then has been a party, but the true measure of Messi Mania has been in the matches he has played away from south Florida.
