Lionel Messi has attracted famous faces to Chase Stadium since making a stunning move to the United States in 2023. His mass appeal shows no sign of waning, with A-list guests continuing to flock to Inter Miami fixtures.

That was the case again when Tata Martino’s side lined up against Atlanta United. Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba got the goals for Inter Miami as they claimed a 2-1 win on home soil. Odell Beckham Jr and Hollywood actor Idris Elba were among those to rub shoulders with ex-England captain David Beckham.

While Messi was not among the goals against Atlanta, he has been a talismanic presence for Inter Miami when fit in 2024. He is a leading contender for the MLS MVP award and is in the process of chasing down major trophy No.47 in his record-breaking career.
