No athlete attracts an A-list crowd quite like Lionel Messi, as demonstrated by Sunday’s Major League Soccer game between Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC.
A long list of celebrity names watched from the stands during Miami’s 3-1 victory in California, including Prince Harry, Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Owen Wilson, Edward Norton, and Will Ferrell – who is a co-owner of LAFC – actress and musician Selena Gomez, and rapper Tyga. The star-studded audience was testament to Messi’s ongoing impact on soccer in the US.
Messi was also the provider for his team’s third goal, capitalizing on a mistake from LAFC defender Aaron Long and putting Leonardo Campana through to score. Ryan Hollingshead pulled one back with a glancing header from a corner, but it was too little, too late for LAFC, which had 22 shots over the course of the match. The home side was left to rue numerous squandered chances, notably through misfiring forward Dénis Bouanga.
