Within the framework of Major League Soccer (MLS), Lionel Messi’s team, Inter Miami, traveled to the Sporting Kansas City Club field on April 14. This event took place last April 14.
The demand to attend the stadium to watch the match live developed at a rapid pace in the wake of Messi’s popularity. Sporting initially intended to hold the competition at their home stadium, which has a capacity of 18,000 seats. Despite this, the team made the decision to temporarily borrow Arrowhead Stadium from the Kansas football team to meet fan demand.
Furthermore, the price seems quite excessive, starting at $121, and has even increased several times on the “black market”, but it is still completely sold out. Statistically there were 72,610 fans present at the event. As mentioned, Messi and the Inter Miami fans performed better than the home team.
The American media described this as something strange, which shows that Messi’s fever is still very strong even though he has been playing soccer for Inter Miami for 9 months.
Without living up to expectations, Messi shined with 1 goal and 1 assist to help Inter Miami win 3-2. This result helps Inter Miami temporarily rise to the top of the MLS eastern rankings.
