In a city full of stars no one was bigger than Messi on last week, as Inter Miami took on LAFC. The BMO Stadium in Los Angeles was sold out on with a record 22, 921 fans cheerfully watching their home team lose to Messi and Miami, 3-1 on Sep 3. The average ticket price for the match was a whopping $717--515% more than the $110 before Messi joined the MLS. Messi's impact on the game in the US is also evident in the number of subscriptions to Apple TV+'s MLS season pass, which recorded 288,000 new subscribers in Messi's first month in the league! No wonder the star power was on full display in the BMO stadium--with movie stars, pop star, sports legends, and even a prince (yes, he's still one) fanning Messi Mania.
And Messi has been delivering for his US fans with an astonishing start to his MLS career. Since he joined Inter Miami in July, the club has gone undefeated in it last 11 matches across all competitions, with Messi scoring 11 goals in ten appearances!
