One of the new things MLS fans are experiencing since Lionel Messi's arrival has been being the international spotlight. It's the first time in history that this is happening in the United States, which is causing more and more people in the country to be more interested in soccer. Without a doubt, one of the things that stands out about sports is the great marketing.

Messi's arrival at Inter Miami was no exception. The team currently boasts the best player in the world after winning the Ballon d'Or in Paris just on Monday. On his arrival, the former Barcelona player was received like the greats and without a doubt, his teammates can boast of being with a historic player in football who has won 8 Ballon d'Or awards throughout his career.

In the face of this, comes calm for the Inter Miami team. It should be noted that The Herons did not qualify for the MLS playoffs, so they will have to settle for having a very advanced preseason with some friendly matches ahead. Although the team was scheduled to travel to China for a tour, the tour has been canceled and will be replaced by a friendly against NYCFC on November 10.

Undoubtedly, this in turn has benefited Messi from having such a heavy schedule ahead of Argentina's upcoming matches at the South American Quailifiers. It is worth mentioning that this date will be important because Lionel Scaloni's team will face important rivals such as Uruguay and Brazil. After winning the Ballon d'Or, Messi gave this record to the MLS

MLS's greatest achievement so far

Although there have been players in MLS who have won the Ballon d'Or, it is the first time that an active player in an MLS team has won the Ballon d'Or. Undoubtedly, a great achievement for the league and for the entire country that aspires to consolidate soccer as the national sport
