Leo can do whatever he wants. He won the world cup, his childhood dream. He also became a hero for his fellow countrymen.

I will miss Messi playing in Europe. 17 years I have watched him week in and week out. He won everything prestigious there is to win. Enjoy your retirement, GOAT!

The last statement by Stevie was gold. Should have kept the video longer for the reactions.

Messi really pulled a Lebron here and said I’m taking my talents to South Beach 😂

Messi may not be the same 5-7yrs ago, but he is still messi, and can still play for any any team in the world and score and assist ❤

Miami just became one of the centers of the world in the futbol community

Sadly for the average Inter Miami fan because tickets that were usually $50 now are $600 for the worst Team in the MLS

The best choice for Messi! Will be great for MLS also. If Bousquest is coming also, that will be great 🎉

MLS = Messi Loves Soccer

Hopefully adding Lionel Messi to the MLS improves the culture and the football quality of American soccer. You're getting a player who's a legend of the game an icon in the world of football and he should have an impact on soccer in America.

Well said no class, Messi doesn't stoop down to that level and forever he will be beloved in Barcelona but their president will be forgotten in no time.

I love how Messi said he cares too much about his family's quality of life to go to saudi arabia. Shows he has a lot of self-respect and cares about more than just money.

Stevie's 100%. Laporta = No Class.

Empathy for those who will miss the chance to watch Messi play in person. I on the other hand will pay a pretty penny. Bienvenido’s GOAT

I Hope Messi coming here changes youth football and makes it how I wished it was when I was a kid

Messi should have done a live interview with Fabrizio Romano and called it 'the decision' and said "I'm taking my talents to south beach and join Inter Miami" LOL

We were just watching him in the world cup half a year ago. This is crazy.

Fairytale return to Barcelona and playing under Xavi is something that we fans deserved but still happy for Messi to take control of his destiny

From pele to messi the us has always had a big star in the mls

Le deseo mucha suerte en Su nueva carrera jugando soccer,por que es una liga sin decenso,Pense que nunca pasaria

This is a new beginning for Messi and family. Not a retirement. A very good interview.

Messi gonna coach the managers in MLS

just from reading the title I knew Ale was the one who said it. He's completely right and I am very happy that Messi is taking this opportunity in a new league. I'm excited to see it!

Messi would be welcome anywhere in the world,even in Portugal !❤

Laporta? No class. Absolutely. Thanks Stevie!!! Keep talking Ale, Stevie, Jules

This is the biggest news since Pele came to New York... Very good for Leo...

What makes Stevie thinks Messi would struggle at Barca?? No he's not going to dribble past 5 players anymore...we know this. But he had 20 goals AND 20 assists with a disjointed PSG team. Can you imagine what he'd do with Lewandowski, Pedri, Gavi, De Jong and Dembele? With 90,000 at Camp Nou screaming his name with every touch? Messi deserves a proper tribute for everything he's done at Barcelona

Its sad to see Messi retired from football 😢. He is now trying different sport called soccer. What a GOAT, complete athlete.

MLS: “Where Old Football Players Retires and Becomes Soccer Players”

The regular price for chicago fire home tickets are $8-$20. I just bought two for almost $800 when they face miami.... 😅

I actually really enjoyed this episode! Well done to all the panelists! Very objective! So beautifully expressed!

Didnt expect the final 5 mins from espn. Thank you for being sensible and not riding laporta

Messi is gonna bring the MLS to the next level for this league not to be considered a retirement place for the soccer stars. The teams will start considering this league as a very important one, and young soccer stars are going to come in the near future. You'll see guys. What I hope is that Inter brings some good soccer players to sorround Messi with quality players and become a team that is considered competitive and not only a team to take pictures of Messi. We have at least 2-3 good years to see him playing at a very good leve, which can benefit and help all teams to grow as well. Let's hope for the best, but keep in mind guys, that Inter is the worst team on the East conference, so do not take for granted that Messi is going to use a magic wand and put Inter as the best team overnight. Some fans will want to see him scoring 5 goals per game and that is not gonna happen is he doesn't have players that play and understand the way he plays which is very complicated since Messi has a higher level of watching soccer. Let's support Messi by allowing him to adapt to his new team, and that is going to take some time, so be ready to be patient and show emphaty to him. May God help him to conquer this league and make history again. Regards 🙏🏼💪🏼👋🏻👋🏻

I hope Messi returns to Barcelona after this. He deserves the send off that he needs.

I'm a MLS and INter Miami fan now 🙂

I’m happy to have the opportunity to watch him play state side

Playing in stadium with 16k capacity for Messi's caliber is kinda insulting tho

Ronaldo Was Ruling the Serie A The Age 35🙌

free agent Messi in his prime would never choose the mls

Happy retirement Messi! 🐐

Nyc Red Bulls tickets are $30 for every game EXCEPT when Miami comes to town in august tix are $500

Thanks For Everything,Mr. GOAT 🐐

ESPN FC always right about Messi next move ❤

Yeah, I'm with Stevie. Its a good thing he didnt go back to Barca. Look what happened with Ronaldo. He wasnt what he was before for that club, and then things went the way they did and he's in Saudi Arabia now. Messi made a smart move by going somewhere new and keeping his legacy at Barca exactly as it was

I will follow you Leo where you go ❤❤❤❤❤

I feel the zava zava vibe of Ted Lasso except they portrayed Zlatan there and it's Messi here!

Let's not forget Pele going to play for the NY Cosmos in 1975. Watershed moments. Pele, Beckham, Messi.

Messi is still Messi! He proved it in 2022 WC. He will take MLS and US Soccer to the stratosphere! Messi is changing the map of football/soccer world. People will watch MLS when Messi plays, leaving UCL behind! This move is so beneficial for USA!

Mac Allister is leaving to go to a bigger club so probably not the best comparison, but Laportes statement did seem just a little bitter

With world cup will be in USA, signing Messi is a must to do job for MLS.

Messi is not only a soccer star, but a father, and in coming to the U.S. and in the state of Florida his kids will get a quality education and learning English, lots of jobs and business opportunities for them, also the city and state is very populated with Hispanic/Latinos so it won't be so foreign that his kids can't find Spanish speakers to connect with find community and compañeros with. So for his kids growing up as Argentinian-Americans it will be unique & invaluable experience for them, furthermore no price tag can be placed on becoming immigrants and eventual citizens of the number one country in the world, lets remember people have and always will risk their lives to enter the U.S. The U.S. is still the number one land of opportunity, freedoms, and where dreams coming true!

It’s really sad to see him leave Europe. He could still play 2 more years here for sure

I swear Barcelona played horrible the last few games of La Liga! Messi was watching and he doesn’t wanna go through it all over again especially at the end of his career! Visca El Barça Thank You for everything Lionel Messi!! 🫡😢😭

Messi is the reason to fall in love with football

It will be interesting to see if Messi will be like the us Superstars regularly in the late night shows. Like Zlatan did for example

Really good for the MLS. Hopefully he’ll have players around him tho. They are terrible, and if he walks around and do not care that much like he was at PSG, not sure that’ll be crazy for the team

A player's movement to a club should not burden the fans 😢

as someone who lives in america im hyped asf to have the goat himself coming to play in my country. cant wait to be able to see him play

Stevie was good in this one.

He is still best player ,right now!

Messi: I’ll be taking my talent to Intern Miami 😅😅

GOAT

I enjoyed this panel

We weren't in the mls At The Age 35

I cannot believe how much his move is compared to Beckham's & nobody mentions Pele going to the New York Cosmos 🤯🤯🤯

when start la leauge plz...

The Future is MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER 🇺🇸 ⚽

Basically business will be good for MLS and football/soccer in general in USA.

Dignity and family over money

Messi is bigger than any other sports figure in the history of the world of sports! He’s an extraterrestrial! He’s not human!

The prices are as high as EL CLÁSICO! Back when Messi and CR7 were part of it. It’s sad that they allow tickets to go up so high. It’s going to turn off a lot of people from the game..

Necessity-luxury. Very well outlined by Moreno.

Busquets and Suarez next hehe

So..when mls goes on break or finished..i don't know how that league goes..but didn't some go on loan back to european sides?

what did beckham told to messi on his trip to psg 🙄

The greatest player in the history of the greatest sport comes to the United States. You better respect him.

Going to MLS rather than the Saudi league means more people will actually follow his games. Will be great to here him speak more English.

Best big-signings for MLS progression as a legit league: beckham, ibrahimovic, henry, giovinco, vela, (maybe kaka), and now messi

Where messi goes the circus follows. I’m a Madrid fan I still want to see him play. Once a euro star comes I go and watch them play. Except zlatan… he doesn’t play on turf…lol spent 500 to see him and find out during warm ups😅

As a Colombian with Soccer in my Blood I know it is time to take MLS, Messi, Apple TV, and Adidas and move Soccer in America to the World level which will win us a World Cup in 2026!!!❤❤❤

Also not a hater at all he is a idol to me

I think Busi & Alba may join him as well

So we are gonna have the same show as yesterday? Got it

I should have bought a lot of inter miami tickets and sold them. Would have made a lot of money

Barca statement is stupid in a nuts shell. They are trying to shift their failure to bring Messi back to Messi himself. How stupid is that?

Messi played for his dream team Barcelona n won every trophies even champions league. Played for Argentina n won every trophies Olympic gold,Copa America,finalisimma n world cup. Now he csn finally do wtva he want. I wish ronaldo too win atleast one world cup to retire with Honor

Saudi Arabia has upped their offer to Messi to the tune of $10 Billion/Per year for 5 years. Messi has changed his mind and is now heading to Al Hilal Saudi Arabia

I’d love to see Messi as player-captain-coach (if he works on his English lmao)

*15:30* 🖐 | | | | | | 🎤

MLS can have 10 of the best players and it still won't improve

💀 💀. Stevie with the final blow at the end

5:40

Laporta make hurt A Messi 2 years ago lie lie lie and we see happen again we want sigh up Messi need wait again Lie Lie Lie Iam happy he make decision by self family feel comfort too

Stevie master class for short minded fans that not grateful for had have the best player who ever walked on this planet and so arrogant, to think that theirs are better and can't accept the reality that they have way much to learn.

Oh, NOW Messi is not past it, and is the best, and finally these pundits remembered that Messi won the World Cup not too long ago!

Great news! I don't care if we loose to City tomorrow, we will soon have the greatest player in history playing for Inter 💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤

Laporta and xavi lies more than my ex's

Always a positive spin round messi not so much for ronnie

Messi is Messi .I go watch his game

Messi is very Competitive he will always bring his A game. When he plays class is in session.
