Lionel Messi Stunned Selena Gomez This Time With His Skills On The Field
Take a look at the celebs who attended the LAFC vs. Inter Miami game on Sunday night if you need further proof that Lionel Messi is having a significant impact on American soccer culture.
Not only were celebrities like Selena Gomez and Leonardo DiCaprio present, but also Dwyane Wade, Owen Wilson, Prine Hrry, Tyra, David Beckham, Will Ferrell, Mario Lopez, and more. Selena Gomez is the fourth most followed person in the world on Instagram, behind only the company and Messi.

Gomez’s participation attracted attention since the Only Murders in the Building actor, 31, had an incredibly sympathetic reaction to seeing the goalkeeper for LAFC actually block one of Messi’s shots.
After the game, Gomez was asked (in Spanish) about Messi and if she wanted to say anything to him. She said, “Te amo mucho”: “I love you very much.”

With two assists, Messi helped Inter Miami defeat LAFC 3-1 despite not scoring himself in the game.
Messi has been at Inter Miami since the beginning of the summer, but this was only his third MLS match for Inter Miami. On Sunday, Inter Miami faced LAFC. Inter Miami had one win, two losses, and one tie in those contests.

Inter Miami will need to climb up in the rankings from 14th to 9th place with nine games left in the regular season of Major League Soccer (MLS) — they also play the Houston Dynamo on September 28 in the U.S. Open Cup — in order to advance to the postseason.
