In less than 20 appearances for Inter Miami, Messi has contributed 11 goals and made 5 assists. In addition to his sporting impact, the former Barca star also created a huge economic impact and this was revealed by Bruno Vain, Apple TV journalist.

“ Inter Miami’s growth under Leo Messi is not only on the field (they won the title for the first time in their history) but also off the field. More followers, more income more, more recognition,” the journalist wrote on his personal page.

“Inter Miami received 120 million USD this season for all reasons, more than twice as much as last year. For next season, the club has sold out all season tickets and the price has doubled. They range from 845 USD for the cheapest season ticket to 45 thousand USD for a luxury seat,” the Apple TV journalist added.

The 2022 World Cup champion has contributed significantly to helping Inter Miami win the 2023 Leagues Cup championship, the first championship title in this club’s history.

Messi’s impact on the media is also enormous, from the 180 thousand followers that Inter Miami had on Instagram before everyone started talking about Messi to the more than 15 million followers currently.

The star who won 8 Golden Balls was also recently awarded the title “Athlete of the Year” by Time magazine of the US, for bringing incredible changes to MLS in particular and American sports in general. .

Messi revealed that he will continue to play for Argentina until 2026, which means he will participate in another World Cup. Argentina also aims to defend the Copa America championship when the tournament takes place in the US in 2024 with Messi as the leader.
