The Leo Messi phenomenon in Miami shows no signs of slowing down, and why should it?

In the match against Orlando City, Messi wasted no time in making an impact, scoring his fourth goal for Inter Miami in just seven minutes. He received an ingenious assist from Robert Taylor, controlled the ball on his chest, and executed a brilliant volley into the net. César Araujo silenced the local fans with an equalizer, but Messi's magic was far from over.
In the 51st minute, Joseph Martínez was fouled in the penalty area, and he confidently converted the resulting penalty kick. Just 18 minutes later, Martínez set up Messi for his third goal of the game. The explosive attack, initiated by the Argentine, concluded with a simple finish from close range, effectively sealing the victory for Inter Miami.
The match experienced a delay of an hour and a half due to stormy weather, but the fans were treated to the debut of Jordi Alba, one of Tata Martino's new acquisitions for Inter Miami, even before the game started.
Off the pitch, Messi also broke records in the United States. His Inter Miami shirt became the best-selling shirt of any athlete in the first 24 hours, surpassing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady, and LeBron James. The popularity of Messi's jersey speaks volumes about his impact and influence on American soccer fans.
The Leo Messi madness in Miami shows no signs of abating, and with his incredible performances and record-breaking jersey sales, it's clear that he has quickly become a beloved figure in the U.S. football scene.
