Al Nassr grew 24M followers with Ronaldo, what Inter Miami grew with Messi

Inter Miami was without a doubt the worst team in the United States before the arrival of Lionel Messi. Not only in style of play, but also in popularity, because even though it was David Beckham's team, no one knew it outside of the United States.

Everything changed with the arrival of Lionel Messi. The Argentine arrived and revolutionized the team, to such an extent that it became one of the most popular teams in the world... Before Messi arrived, Inter Miami had a total of 1.06 million followers on Instagram.

Now, months after the arrival of the Argentine, Inter Miami now has 16 million followers on Instagram! The Messi effect. Now, it has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's similar situation with Al Nassr.

Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr had only 800,000 followers on Instagram, very little for a soccer team. Now, a year and a half after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr has 24.6 million followers, being one of the most followed teams in the world!

Tata Martino is already thinking about the eleven for the next game:

“I don't think about a rotation. It is the first game, in any case we will see how the players finished because most of the changes we had to make were for physical reasons. Maybe we need to check that, but no. I'm not thinking about any rotation or giving a rest on the second date because we are just starting to compete. Let's hope everyone is fine, including that Nico Freire is fit to play. He is going to travel, and we will see later when the time comes and the games accumulate.”
