On May 26, 2024, Lionel Messi once again stole the spotlight on social media with a deluxe performance, despite not being present in Inter Miami’s 2-1 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps due to resting as decided by the coach. This time, the Argentine star collaborated with actor Will Smith, known for his roles in hit movies like “I Am Legend” and the “Men in Black” series, to publicly promote “Bad Boys 4,” Smith’s new film.
The video, shared by the comedian on his Instagram account, featured the captain of the Argentine National Team as the main collaborator. Given his international fame, this wasn’t Messi’s first time participating in such scenes. Additionally, Messi and Luis Suárez were allowed to enter the field with the U12 team before the match as a symbol of greatness. Messi went beyond and delivered a heartfelt speech to encourage his son and his teammates before the game, emphasizing the joy of playing football and creating lasting memories.
Inter Miami currently leads the Eastern Conference standings in the MLS with 34 points after 16 matches. However, they must remain focused as Cincinnati, their closest rival, is only one point behind. Coach Gerardo Martino’s team will need to secure three points in upcoming games to maintain their lead.
Looking ahead, here is the schedule for Inter Miami for the remainder of the season, with crucial matches against Atlanta United, Philadelphia Union, Columbus Crew, and other tough opponents. The team will need to continue their strong performance to secure a spot in the playoffs and pursue championship success.
