The arrival of Lionel Messi to the United States has paralyzed the entire world and has revolutionized soccer in North America. Soccer in the United States is not very popular, however, everything has multiplied exponentially with the arrival of the Argentine.

As proof of this, the New York Times has done an article about Lionel Messi and the impact he has had on American citizens, and they also revealed how much money Adidas made from the sales of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami jerseys.

New York Times: “No player in the history of sports has sold more shirts than Messi in the first 24 hours after the transfer. A few days after Messi's transfer, Adidas received half a million orders for Messi and Inter Miami shirts”

Messi is very happy in Miami, which is why he did not go to FC Barcelona or Saudi Arabia. These were the Argentine's words just a few weeks ago: "It was much easier than we thought, because we had had the experience of changing cities from Barcelona to Paris and it had been complicated. This was totally different"
