Lionel Messi already a legend in Inter Miami WhatsApp chat after sorting new team-mates out with tickets

LIONEL MESSI is already a legend in the Inter Miami group chat after sorting his new team-mates some tickets.

The Argentine legend was unveiled as the MLS’s newest superstar at a welcoming event in Fort Lauderdale, where he was presented a jersey.

But the ceremony was so in-demand not even Miami forward Leonardo Campana could get enough tickets.

So it shocked DeAndre Yedlin & Co when the main man himself surprisingly popped up to save the day.

Yedlin told media: “Actually for the little event that he had, well, I say little event…

“The big event that he had on Sunday, Campana was looking for tickets and he put in the group chat, ‘Hey, does anybody have any tickets?’

“And then I didn’t even know that Leo was in or Messi was in the group chat yet.

“But he popped up straight away and said, ‘How many do you need though?’ Straight away like that.

“So just from there I was like, ‘Wow.’ Straight off the bat. They’ve known each other for maybe, I dunno two days, three days or something.

“But just to show that generosity, that is a great first example of how he is.”

Messi, 36, left boyhood club Barcelona in 2021 amid the club’s financial woes and signed for PSG.

He spent two seasons in the French capital, winning the league title twice, before leaving for America on a free.

He is believed to be on wages of around £830,000-a-week after signing for David Beckham’s Miami.

Messi has been joined in Florida by ex-Barca team-mate Sergio Busquets with Jordi Alba also set to arrive.
