Tom Brady, LeBron James in Attendance as Lionel Messi Secures Last Minute Winner on His Debut

Lionel Messi made his much awaited debut for Inter Miami this evening.

The 36-year-old was brought on as a substitute in the 54th minute.

His debut was in front of a packed crowd with ticket prices costing almost 20x of what it did before his signing.

Messi proved his mettle by scoring a winner in the 94th minute with a brilliant free kick.

To watch Messi's USA debut the likes of Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, and LeBron James were in attendance.

Soccer is a growing sport in the US and the addition of Lionel Messi is expected to help grow the sport immensely.

At this point in time, he is also the highest paid athlete in the States ahead of Mahomes, LeBron, and others.
