The unveiling saw delays due to storms in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Area, and it appeared for a time as if the ceremony would have to be postponed &#8212; if not canceled altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the league&#8217;s biggest-ever transfer was indeed introduced as planned &#8212; and it sounds like Messi is happy to form a part of Major League Soccer history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messi: &#8220;I have no doubt that we are going to have a good time&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/messi-usa-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/messi-usa-10.jpg 750w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/messi-usa-10-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking out in the rain at DRV PNK Stadium, Messi explained his happiness at having arrived in Miami and said he couldn&#8217;t wait to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I want to thank all the people in Miami for this welcome, this affection since I arrived here. I am very excited to be with you,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want to thank Jose (Mas), Jorge (Mas), and David (Beckham) for this recognition, for making everything easy, for making us feel at home. I really want to start training, competing, I really want to win and for this club to keep growing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messi played the previous two seasons at PSG and was unable to add a fifth European Cup to his already-expansive trophy cabinet. Despite links with Saudi Arabia &#8212; as well as a return to Barcelona &#8211;, the 36-year-old has opted for a fresh challenge in MLS, which is experiencing significant growth as it nears its 30th season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When David and I first met and we dreamt of what Inter Miami represents, it started off with the freedom to dream,&#8221; principal owner Jorge Mas said Sunday. &#8220;And we dreamed of not only bringing elite players and the best players but the best player to ever don boots &#8211; and his name is Lionel Andr\u00e9s Messi.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messi, who also won La Liga 10 times, instantly becomes Major League Soccer&#8217;s marquee player &#8212; albeit on its worst team, which is hoping his arrival will correspond with an immediate surge up the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I hope that throughout the tournament you (the fans) will continue to accompany us,&#8221; Messi continued. &#8220;Personally, I believe that my teammates are going to give everything to build this project and I am very happy to have chosen this city, have chosen this project I have no doubt that we are going to have a great time and we are going to experience very nice things.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inter Miami gained a few thousand new supporters in the wake of the Messi announcement, and fans turned up in droves at DRV PNK Stadium to welcome the soccer legend on Sunday &#8212; even though the weather was less than ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Tonight is a typical Miami welcome for one of the greatest players to ever have played the game,&#8221; Beckham said. &#8220;The fact that we have our fans in here, celebrating this moment &#8230; This is what we have created and we&#8217;re very proud of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fan culture at Inter Miami is becoming more solidified given it has shown an ability to attract players of Messi&#8217;s stature &#8212; as well as his longtime Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets, who was also introduced on Sunday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inter Miami are also due to move into a new stadium by 2025, with hopes that more top-tier talent will accompany Messi as club leadership tries to engineer a dramatic turnaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
