Inter Miami have been hailed after once again utilising\u00a0Lionel Messi’s star power to their advantage. Messi made the move to Major League Soccer earlier this summer, and he and his Inter Miami teammates have not looked back since.<\/p>\n
A whole host of huge names have enjoyed spells in the MLS, but no bigger than seven-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner Messi. The Argentinian captain has revolutionised his Miami-based franchise, both on and off the field.<\/p>\n
On the pitch, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star has turned around his team\u2019s fortunes who had won just once in 10 games in all competitions prior to his arrival. Since joining the ranks, Messi and his teammates have secured the Leagues Cup title, reached the U.S. Open Cup final, and are unbeaten in 12 matches.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n Away from the action the impact has been felt too, as wherever Messi goes, popularity tends to follow. Since his arrival, Miami\u2019s iconic 2023-24 pink shirts have flown off the shelves, with the Argentine\u2019s name and the No. 30 printed on the back.<\/p>\n Sales of the franchise\u2019s older shirts though have been less successful. The best way to fix this? Print Messi\u2019s name on the back of course. As a result, Miami\u2019s inaugural white home kit from 2020 now includes the 36-year-old\u2019s name and number in the club shop, despite Messi joining three years after the shirt was initially produced.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

With the Argentine back home, Leonardo Campana stepped up to the plate to score a brace in Miami\u2019s 3-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday.<\/p>\n Messi meanwhile was enjoying a victory of his own, after guiding his national team to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ecuador in Buenos Aires earlier in the week. And the Miami captain did it in style, curling in a mesmerising free-kick 12 minutes from time to secure Argentina three points in the opening game of qualifying.<\/p>\n
