A mural in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood that was dedicated to Lionel Messi was damaged not too long ago by a bunch of Orlando City supporters. Messi is credited with revolutionizing both Inter Miami and sports in the United States.

The graffiti, which included the face of the Argentine superstar with the words “welcome to Vice City” and the shield of the Florida franchise, has been destroyed with purple paint, which is the distinctive color of the Orlando squad.

Both the city and the sport in the United States have seen significant changes as a direct result of Lionel Messi’s presence. Fans of Orlando City Football Club were responsible for the vandalism of a painting in the Wywood arts neighborhood that was dedicated to the winning team of the 2022 World Cup.

Messi, the new hero, was all of a sudden given a poor reception in the US 308551.

The real hero of the team for Inter Miami is Lionel Messi. The 36-year-old superstar scored three goals in just two matches for the new squad, helping them stop a winless streak of 11 matches across all competitions. This streak was brought to an end thanks to his outstanding level of play.

The “Messi effect” is responsible for everything that has happened so far, including the record-breaking attendance (12.5 million spectators watching the match against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup) and record-breaking ticket sales. This is the reason why numerous MLS officials brought up the potential of the league altering its rules and allowing teams more latitude in spending money on their roster at the meeting of the MLS board that took place last week in Washington, DC.
