Back in July, superstar Lionel Messi made a big splash when he played his first match as a member of Inter Miami FC in Major League Soccer, marking his debut for a North American audience.
Now, a six-part documentary called Messi Meets America follows the 36-year-old Argentinian making the transition from finding success and fame in bigger international football leagues to playing for one of the worst teams in a much less popular soccer league. However, the decision to play for Miami transformed how the game is watched in North America. In fact, Adidas dropped new T-shirts to commemorate Messi’s arrival in Miami.
