FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi's every move was on display in his Major League Soccer playoff debut.
Every touch. Every shot attempt. Even when he wasn't doing anything at all, it was shown.
There was a “Messi-cam” focused on the Inter Miami superstar throughout his team's playoff-opening, 2-1 win over Atlanta United on Friday night. Nothing but the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner livestreamed on MLS' TikTok account for the duration of the match.
It captured the excitement surrounding Inter Miami, which surged in popularity when Messi arrived midway through the 2023 season.
