Welcome to the King of Balls! Messi debuted at the celebration with his 8th Ballon d'Or 20,000 Miami fans chanting the GOAT
On November 11, Beijing time, Miami International held a grand celebration for Messi, who had just won the Golden Ball Award, and the Plum Ball King appeared at home with his eighth Golden Ball Award.
On October 31, Messi won the Ballon d'Or for the eighth time in his career, continuing to refresh his record for the number of awards, and he is also the first Ballon d'Or winner in history to play for a team outside Europe, the first Ballon d'Or winner in the history of the MLS, and the first Ballon d'Or winner in the history of Miami International!
Although Messi's award mainly relied on last year's World Cup championship and was still playing at Paris Saint-Germain when he won the championship, Miami International is also honored and will naturally not let go of this golden opportunity, while congratulating Messi, he will further expand his influence.
So today, Inter Miami Club held a grand Ballon d'Or celebration for Messi! The DRV PNK Stadium, which can accommodate up to 21,000 people, was packed to the brim with fans to witness the event.
The poster of this celebration ceremony, with the theme of "Golden Ball Night, Congratulations to Messi", has a golden goat logo on the left and right, symbolizing GOAT, and below is Messi's 8 Golden Ball Awards and the time of awarding.
At the beginning of the celebration, the lights went out, and the CEO of the MLS, Don Garper, and the owner of Inter Miami Club, Jorge Maas, took the lead and praised Messi.
Then, here comes the main character! Messi came to the center of the stadium with his eighth Ballon d'Or and held it high in front of the home fans, and Miami fans burst into applause and chanted GOAT to express their praise and support for the football king.
Next, there will be a "Messi Golden Ball Memorial Match", which will be played by Miami International against New York City, when Messi will wear a special edition jersey printed with his exclusive goat logo, and will also wear a special edition of 8 Golden Ball shoes.
