Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano praised Lionel Messi's influence in elevating Major League Soccer's visibility. During a recent match, Messi helped draw a record attendance of 62,358 fans at Soldier Field. Mascherano acknowledged the direct impact Messi has had on other clubs breaking attendance records in games against Inter Miami and emphasized the importance for MLS to continue evolving and capitalizing on Messi's presence to ensure further growth and support for the league.
In the summer, Messi will have been here for two years, and I think he's changing how the world sees MLS in one way or another.
We saw it today, and it's one of the many examples of everything he generates. The people came to see him, that's the reality.
Now, MLS has the responsibility to continue advancing. It's made progress, but it's necessary to continue supporting the fact that I'm here to continue developing.
In the end, we're talking about a player who's capable of achieving all of that, of giving maximum visibility to a league like this.
