NFL star Patrick Mahomes emphatically reacted to the news of Argentinian World Cup winner and Inter Miami skipper Lionel Messi attending the 2024 Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback will be in action as his side takes on the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes will be aiming to attain the status of an NFL legend as he prepares to win his fourth Super Bowl title. Kansas City Chiefs are looking to make history by securing their third consecutive title, a feat no other team has achieved. The 2024 NFL Super Bowl is scheduled for the 9th of February at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
In Florida, Inter Miami skipper Lionel Messi is another name that comes to mind. The 37-year-old is currently participating in a pre-season tour with the club. He is expected to be in attendance at the Super Bowl, watching over Mahomes. The two athletes last met each other on the sidelines of the Arrowhead stadium, back in April 2024. It was during Inter Miami’s MLS encounter against Kansas City.

Mahomes expressed excitement over the opportunity to play in front of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, someone whom he labeled as the greatest footballer of all time. He added that he aims to achieve the levels of success that Messi has. Noting the Argentine’s lasting ‘greatness’, Mahomes also reminisced about the 37-year-old’s match-winning display against Sporting KC last year.
[Lionel Messi] is the GOAT of his profession. To have someone like that at the game would be awesome. I get to showcase who I am and what talent that I have… I can look up and try to get to his level someday.

Lamine Yamal breaks Lionel Messi’s long-standing Barcelona record
Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal broke his idol and club legend Lionel Messi’s dribbling record during the Catalan club’s 1-0 win over Alaves. The 17-year-old was awarded the MOTM award despite not scoring or assisting in the match.
Lionel Messi, back in 2007, had attempted 20 dribbles in a match against Mallorca. He completed ten of those to set a club record in La Liga. Yamal recently shattered the record, as he attempted 21 dribbles and completed 11 out of those. The La Masia sensation is now on his way to breaking other records with the Catalan giants.

Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal of the match against Alaves, as Barcelona cut the deficit with the La Liga leaders Real Madrid to just four points. The club will now be hoping to capitalize on their good form when they take on Valencia in the Copa del Rey next.
