Messi takes Inter Miami to 1 Billion Dollars
The Argentina captain has been influential to Miami's success since his arrival in Florida.
Messi's debut with Inter Miami was spectacular, marked by a game-winning free-kick that set the stage for an extraordinary season.
With 11 goals and five assists in his initial 14 appearances, he played a pivotal role in securing Inter Miami's first-ever trophy in the Leagues Cup. Despite starting at the bottom of the table, the team's strong push for an MLS playoff spot significantly boosted the club's revenue, soaring from $55 million to an impressive $127 million.
Messi also played a crucial role in taking his side to the US Open Cup final, where they narrowly lost 2-1 to Houston Dynamo.
With the addition of Luis Suarez in December, coupled with the experience of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, Inter Miami aims for an improved MLS campaign this year.
