Football superstar Lionel Messi is in Hong Kong with Inter Miami and club co-owner David Beckham for a pre-season friendly, and the city is gripped with Messi fever. Tickets sold out within an hour of going on sale. Hong Kong footballer Jordan Lam says playing with Messi is a dream encounter: "I was so surprised to get into the final squad and I think it’s a dream come true. Playing with the GOAT, Messi, is something that I never imagined in my life." Authorities hope the match will promote Hong Kong as a hub for major events and help revive its economic outlook. From Hong Kong Stadium, CNN's Kristie Lu Stout covers the match and the fortunate fans who have waited for the moment to see their hero in Hong Kong.
