In front of a star audience: Messi with two assists

Lionel Messi continued his successful streak with Inter Miami with current champions Los Angeles FC in the North American professional league MLS. The Argentine soccer world champion contributed two assists in the 3-1 win in California on Sunday (local time) and played his part in the eleventh unbeaten game in a row across all competitions. The goals for the team from Florida were scored by Facundo Farías (14th minute), Jordi Alba (51st) and Leonardo Campana (83rd). Ryan Hollingshead scored for the hosts in front of a record crowd of 22.921 at BMO Stadium.

The tickets for the encounter were among the most sought-after in the 27-year history of Major League Soccer. As the AP news agency reported, citing the online ticket marketplace TickPick, the average price for a ticket was 717 US dollars (around 665 euros), around 515 percent higher than the price paid before Messi was signed in mid-July had to become. And the stands were full of celebrities: from Prince Harry to actors like Will Farrell, Leonardo DiCaprio, Owen Wilson and Edward Norton to music stars like Selena Gomez.

For the 36-year-old Messi, it was the last appearance for Miami before the next two weeks. The offensive star is part of Argentina's squad in the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador on Thursday and against Bolivia five days later. So far he has scored XNUMX goals and assisted eight goals for Miami, which is still eight points away from a playoff spot. In the Eastern Conference, the team still has eight games left in the regular season to qualify for the championship round.
