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."

Arsenal have signed Declan Rice on a long-term contract from West Ham United, the north London club said on Saturday, with manager Mikel Arteta describing the England international as an "exceptional talent".
Financial details of the transfer were not disclosed but British media reported that the fee for the midfielder was $137.45 million, making it a record transfer between two British clubs.
"He is a player with tremendous ability, who has been performing at a high level in the Premier League and for England for a number of seasons now," Arteta said in a statement.
Christian Pulisic made his roughly $24 million move from Chelsea to AC Milan official on Wednesday signing a four-year contract with the Rossoneri. With his transfer complete we felt it was appropriate to look at a potential AC Milan starting XI 2023-24 lineup.
Milan manager Stefano Pioli has said that he has a different plan than Chelsea as to where Pulisic will play. Pioli plans to use the American star in the No. 10 role as an attacking midfielder rather than on the wings.
The Messi clan has arrived in the United States. Disembarking from their $15.5 million private jet, Lionel, Antonela, Thiago, Ciro and Mateo were recorded at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after the official Lionel Messi presentation date and time was confirmed by Inter Miami.
This travel experience is nothing new for the Messi family as they've frequented Miami during the offseason. It hasn't been confirmed where they'll be living permanently, but for now the Messis will reside at the Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach.
In a world full of Fabrizio Romanos, Gianluca Di Marzios and David Ornsteins — some of the most prominent transfer gurus in all of soccer — here's a drastic change of pace: An 18-year-old American streamer might’ve beat every journalist with the exclusive confirmation of what would be one of the biggest transfers this summer.
All after accidentally leaking a Twitter direct message conversation.
Yes, as you read it.
Club América ha estado moviéndose en el mercado de fichajes y pese a incorporar bombas como Kevin Álvarez y Julián Quiñones, en Coapa no descartan que llegue alguno que otro refuerzo antes que se cierre la ventana estival.
Probablemente, sí.
Con el Apertura 2023 ya en marcha y a pura costumbre de la directiva azulcrema, se reporta que el América seguirá buscando jugadores para fortalecer su plantilla, específicamente en la parte defensiva.
Christian Pulisic's days of misery at Chelsea are over. The USMNT talisman will join AC Milan on a permanent deal in the next few days.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on Twitter.
Christian Pulisic to AC Milan, here we go! Deal in place between clubs as Chelsea accepted conditions of final bid. ⚫️ #ACMilan
Anda dando vueltas la idea de que Zinedine Zidane sería uno de los candidatos para tomar las riendas de la Selección Mexicana rumbo al Mundial de 2026. Y, por supuesto, varios han entrado en estado de delirio ante la posibilidad.
Sin embargo, antes de que te contagies con la idea, lo honesto es decir que la chance de ver a Zizou dirigiendo a Uriel Antuna en el Tri es más pequeña que la de una trasmisión de un partido de México en TV sin enfocar a Caramelo.
Ínfima.
