The world’s biggest stars showed up at the sold-out DRV PNK stadium for the maestro’s debut at David Beckham-owned Inter Miami. The star-studded lineup at the stadium was not only limited to LeBron James and tennis legend Serena Williams, but was also graced by the presence of Kim Kardashian and former NBA champion at the Cavaliers, Tristan Thompson.

LeBron too sure has some earlier connections with Miami, considering him winning two consecutive NBA championships with the Heat back in the day. As the magic of LeBron sprays on the basketball court, Messi’s magic poured over the soccer field as he hit the last-minute free-kick.

Messi, with his goal, has taken over the hearts of the whole of the US. To come to Inter Miami, Messi had reportedly turned down a $400 million offer from the Saudi Arabian soccer league, which is the highest offer ever made to any player.
