His popularity is not limited to fans but also among opposition players and even owners.
This was after FC Dallas owner Dan Hunt had effusive praise for Messi just hours before their Leagues Cup cup match against Inter Miami.
According to Hunt, he was desperate to watch Messi play because because to him, watching the Argentine star was akin to ‘watching Michael Jordan.’
Speaking to Bloomberg (via LeaguesCup.com), Hunt said,” ‘You’re looking at one of the two greatest players of all time in that experience. So yeah, this is a great moment for FC Dallas.”
Messi’s popularity is a testament to his incredible talent, longevity, and his personality. After joining Inter Miami in MLS, he is one of the most popular athletes in the USA and is sure to continue to be popular for many years to come.
