On the night of the Golden Globe Awards, Messi gave an emotional speech: Continue to win the championship next season! 20,000 people chanted the GOAT
On Friday, Inter Miami held a grand ceremony to commemorate Messi's Ballon d'Or! After showing the Ballon d'Or to the crowd, Messi promised to win the major tournament next season.
On October 30, Messi won the Ballon d'Or for the eighth time, continuing to break the record for the number of Ballon d'Or awards, while Messi also became the first Ballon d'Or winner in history to play for a non-European club.
Messi's win for the Ballon d'Or also set a record for MLS and Inter Miami, who became the first club in history to have a new Ballon d'Or winner in a non-top five league.
Despite being a commemorative match, Inter Miami put a lot of effort into designing a special commemorative badge with the image of a ram symbolizing the best player of all time and the letter M representing Messi. At the same time, Messi wore special sneakers with eight Ballon d'Or awards printed on them.
At the celebration ceremony, Messi walked into the stadium with the Ballon d'Or in his hand, and the fans immediately burst into cheers. After greeting the club's general manager, Jorge Maas, and MLS commissioner Don Gaber, Messi lifted the Ballon d'Or with one hand and circled around to show the fans the Ballon d'Or, and the scene once again resounded with loud cheers.
In his speech, Messi said, "Thank you for being here and thank you for your enthusiasm. It's a wonderful thing for me to share the Golden Globes with you. I've only been here for a while, but it seems like it's been a long time. ”
"I want to thank everyone in Miami for the support you have given me over the past few months, I have adapted well to the city, and for the warm welcome you have given me and my family. There were a lot of Latinas here which made me feel comfortable and we got along very well. We've been together for a while now and we've had some important achievements, like winning the first title in our history. ”
'It's an important achievement and our goal is to win the title. This is still an important goal next year and we will be playing in an important event. I have no doubt that we will have a good time and play even better tomorrow. We will continue to enjoy and win the championship and I hope you will come. We need your support and it's great to have you around. ”
