Es oficial-oficial: Lionel Messi es jugador del Inter Miami.
La estrella argentina fue presentada en el DNV PRK Stadium en un show denominado "La PresentaSÍon", el cual tuvo una serie de números musicales y también un diluvio que obligó a pausar el evento por algunos minutos.
A massive crowd at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale welcomed Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets to Inter Miami on Sunday night with bumping music, an impressive light display, pyrotechnics and a collection of hype videos setting the tone.
Soak it in, Leo Messi.

Inter Miami have completed the signing of former Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets on a deal until 2025, the Major League Soccer side said on Sunday.
Busquets, 35, will be reunited with his friend and former teammate Lionel Messi after not renewing his contract at Barça following an 18-year stay.
The 2010 World Cup winner will join the squad in the coming days and will occupy a Designated Player slot, the club added.
It's time.
Lionel Messi is going to be officially presented as a new player of Inter Miami this Sunday (6 p.m. ET) during a show called "The Unveil" or "La PresentaSÍon."

League play has come to a halt but watching Matchday 26, you’d never be able to tell. With the All-Star Game around the corner and the highly advertised Leagues Cup set to kick off in less than a week, teams were still in high gear across the league.
Diego Luna scored a goal in each half to lead Real Salt Lake to a 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night in Sandy, Utah.
Luna's scoring helped Salt Lake extend its unbeaten run to nine matches. Jefferson Savarino added a third goal late in the second half.
Lionel Messi had a close call today nearly getting into a car accident leaving Inter Miami practice. A video posted by TyC Sports shows Messi in a white car running a red light and almost getting hit by cars going through the intersection.
While he awaits his official presentation in Inter Miami (Sunday, July 16), Lionel Messi is starting to blend with life in the United States. The Argentine star was seen Thursday night making a run to Publix, a local grocery store, with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and their three kids.
Of course, his presence didn't go unnoticed.
Several fans doing their night shopping spotted the World Cup champion between the aisles and requested him to pose for a quick selfie.
And Messi indulged them.
Along with two thrilling Gold Cup semifinals, Wednesday featured a final midweek MLS matchday before teams take a break from interleague play. New signings across the league hit the ground running as the push for the playoffs begins to approach its thrilling climax in a few months.
If you’re not on social media that much, then you should know that there’s an inside joke going around about Major League Soccer always having some of the most ridiculous goals scored on a weekly basis.
Fans are constantly greeted with a new highlight of a random MLS player scoring a bicycle kick, volley or long-range rocket.
