All language subtitles for MESSI MANIA How Inter Miami CF landed The GOAT - Major League Soccer (360p, h264)

Finally, the other clear question, after
knowing that you will not go back to

Barcelona, where do you go?

To Arabia, which you have also said, to
Miami?

No,

I made the decision that I will go to
Miami.

I still don't have it closed 100%, there
are still some things missing, but we

decided to continue the road today.

It's officially official.

Signed today, Lionel Messi.

Enter Miami.

He's in Major League Soccer.

The city is paralyzed. Everyone is
talking about Messi. There's pink

around. It's the biggest athletic...

signing in any sport in U .S. history
for me. This will forever change the

of soccer in North America.

It had been a long process to get this
thing off and running. Being the last

place team in the Eastern Conference. 1
.2 billion from Saudi Arabia.

When does an athlete in any sport have
really the opportunity to change the

sport? Beckham, the Moth Brothers all
said, we want to bring the best players,

not just in this league, in the world to
Miami. And they've done it. We are

feeling the magnitude of this moment
already.

The arrival of Lionel Messi has the city
of Miami buzzing.

The goat is here. The one thing that we
love about the goat is he does his own

grocery shopping. Love it.

It's madness.

With the cameras, the microphones, I
mean, people trying to push their way

Everyone wanting to get a glimpse, like
people are posing as media members.

I mean, I was shocked. Everybody was
shocked. I'm pretty sure MLS and Inter

Miami found his announcement surprising.

He just kind of went out there and did
it. That stadium was totally packed.

Tickets sold out in ten minutes. One guy
has single -handedly flipped the

league, the world, on fire.

Messi!

Today a new journey and a new chapter
starts. There will always be a before

after Leonel Messi.

There was lightning striking about 10
miles outside the stadium.

Oh, God. You know, like, what do we do
now, you know?

With this, you know, very nice, but
clearly a very

modular, temporary stadium.

It's just the sort of confluence of
things that made the entire day, if

honestly, a little surreal.

Major League Soccer really hadn't done
an unveiling of this level for lightning

and thunder and the wind and the rain.

to come in 20 minutes before the world's
going to see Lionel Messi in Miami.

Todos estábamos un poco preocupados de
qué iba a poder hacer y a qué hora iba a

comenzar y todo lo demás, la lluvia. Y
el escenario estaba súper mojado y

organizadores que estaban con una toalla
escondidos al lado del stage tratando

de limpiar con una toalla.

La gente que producía el evento nos
advirtió que no camináramos hasta la

que originalmente estaba...

You're talking about the greatest of all
time walking onto a stage. He's going

to slip.

The anxiety was there. The

excitement was there. To really have a
belief that Messi was still going to

and that this would be their birth, for
lack of a better word.

Y la gente se quedó. La gente estuvo una
hora mojándose. Ya la gente no le

importó. La gente quería estar ahí. La
gente quería aplaudirlo. La gente quería

celebrar este nuevo comienzo del Inter
Miami.

En ningún momento paró de bailar, de
cantar, de corear el nombre de Messi. La

energía que había en ese recinto durante
todo el evento, incluso horas antes,

era increíble.

Porque el motivo, el motivo era lo que
valía la pena y no importaba otra cosa

que... to receive it, to show him the
affection, to show him that welcome

aspect was very important so that he
would not doubt

what he had done, that he was going to
have that place where he was going to be

received with open arms and with a lot
of joy and with a lot of energy and that

the weather did not affect anything.

Messi's coming.

I would like to introduce to you your
number 10,

Inter -Miami's number 10, America's
number 10, The best number

10 in the world, Lionel Andres Messi!

Well, first of all, I want to thank all
the people of Miami for this reception,

this affection that I have here in the
city.

The truth is that I am very excited,
very happy to be here in Miami

and to be with you.

I really want to start training, to
start competing.

I come with the desire that I always had
to compete, to want.

I'm very happy to have chosen to come to
this city with my family, to have

chosen this project.

And I have no doubt that we are going to
enjoy it a lot, we are going to have a

good time.

And well, have a great time. Thank you
very much. Thank you very much to

everyone for this day.

If I have the skin of a chicken, what
can Lionel Messi feel at this moment?

We are talking about a moment that
surely, when we remember it, 10, 20

after it happened, I think it will be a
moment that changed the history of the

league and the history of football in
the United States.

I mean, the unveiling is going to be
remembered for so many interesting

but especially they introduced the
greatest of all time to Major League

On the field, I didn't know what to
expect. I don't know that anybody did.

The wonder of what it was going to be
like. The wonder of how long it would

him to acclimate. What would his impact
be right away?

Still in

disbelief. And I think kind of everybody
was.

The amount of media there, outlets from
all over the world for the 15 minutes

allotted us.

At opening training.

It very much felt like an event.

There were probably at least 300 fans in
the parking lot sitting on the ground

along the fence trying to kind of like
see.

Yeah,

this is it. This is happening. This is
here. This is everything.

This is Lionel Messi in Major League
Soccer. But I don't think anyone could

ever imagined that we'd be here at this
level.

David Beckham spoke about coming to
Major League Soccer and needing to

and needing to get the right pieces
around him. You've got to have the

flexibility to pull it off. You knew if
Lionel Messi's going to come, well,

Busquets is going to be part of that
equation.

Leo and Sergio arrived.

They both walked up.

were shaking everybody's hands, and
they're like, Kamal, oh, wait, you're

here to Miami as well. You just came
here from Montreal.

Like, they came in having their research
done. They knew their teammates. They

knew how they could have the best
impact.

The way in which he interacts with the
young players, like, goes out of his

way to talk to players. And how cool is
it to not only get to play, but to learn

from him?

He is easily one of the best athletes
I've ever seen in the sense of

understanding his surroundings and
understanding in the moment what those

surroundings mean. And I promise you
that he's not done.

He's not done.

And look, we're here talking about
Lionel Messi, who is not here to retire,

right? And he's not here to ride off
into the sunset. He's here to win. He's

here to play at his best and highest
level.

At 36 to come into this league, to have
the worst team in the league.

In that moment, the line of expectation
gets higher and higher. All the pressure

in the world, and especially in this
league, is on his shoulders. That's

extremely difficult to fathom.

You don't know what's going to happen.

But also, how cool is that?

Just the atmosphere of the fans, the
family atmosphere, the football

it was something different.

And that shows how a person can
completely change the spirit and the

Many fans have always dreamed of
traveling to Europe, traveling to

the moment in which Messi played with
Barcelona.

And no one wants to miss this Messi
party.

The broadcast was much bigger than the
other broadcasts we had done.

We were putting a lot of resources into
the production of the broadcast, the

full, big game shoot. I felt like I was
walking into a movie set, almost,

honestly, like with all of the people,
all of the extras, to look to my left

see LeBron James.

standing right next to miami's bench to
see kim kardashian come out with her son

serena williams walk out and sit down i
haven't had many moments in my career

where i've been starstruck per se but
that was a moment where i was like oh

this is actually a really big deal

it's

bizarre to be with them eight feet of
them sometimes because of his profile.

Messi is here finally, but now they're
the game to

be played. So can they make sure that
they come out and manage this game in

right way?

We will wait for the debut of Lionel
Messi tonight.

You get to watch him be so glued to
every moment.

This is an ultra calendar.

Second save in the first four minutes.
This one better than the first.

The truth is that Cruz Azul deserved to
win.

Carlos Rotundi cutting it back.

Rotundi curling it off the post.

It was awkward. Ian Flay is down in a
ton of pain. A difficult fight for the

-year -old. You knew that Lionel Messi
was going to come in.

Taylor.

Taylor! Oh, again!

Robert Taylor with a goal!

It's a Miami lead, 1 -0!

First 25 minutes, they were chasing the
game.

Easily could have been down a goal or
two. They're not. They're going into

halftime. This may be the most watched
15 minutes of halftime on the field in

MLS history.

But there was nothing like when he stood
up.

to get ready to go warm up, and the,
like, almost, like, deep breath, and

the reaction to the crowd.

I'm warming up now, walking to warm up,
and you can hear the crowd chanting

Hitman.

Everyone's just hyper focused on when
this is going to happen.

messy. Getting ready to enter for Inter
-Miami.

To finally get the recognition that
David Beckham and the Moss family worked

really hard for to get to this point.

Holy crap, we pulled this off.

Here we go. The Inter -Miami debut.

Of the greatest of all time, Lionel
Messi, the moment is here.

Substituting for Interminable CF, please
welcome the world's number 10, and now

your number 10, La Familia. Please
welcome to the pitch, number 10, Lionel

Messi.

The feeling that went out, the sound
that went out, the appreciation for him

choosing to come play here.

He's still the greatest player in the
world. And now he's doing it in an inter

-Miami jersey.

Santana Gamboa in Tijuana.

And here he is for the first time on the
ball. First touches for Miami.

Oh, he has been leading from Maskey to
Taylor. This is so good for Miami.

He's just going to operate in that space
that's going to ask a ton of questions

of the back line of Cruz Azul.

He's going to attract all the attention
in the world.

I mean, his turn of pace is remarkable.

I'll zip for a turn.

Maybe an opportunity here for Cruz Azul.

Azul Suena.

Thought about it. Nifty ball in.

Callender couldn't get to it.

1 -1 here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Level now, meaning the moment.

Set up maybe even more for Messi and
Miami.

Messi spinning away.

Messi, around one and another, toying
with terms of goal.

Gets it to Messi.

Messi! It was blocked.

I knew he was going to come in and have
an impact on the game.

In domestic, immediately closed down,
free kick given. Here we go.

All of us that are in the moment,
experiencing the moment, we often

it real? We often question, can he
really do this again?

One guy, Pingo Hanley, has got the
attention of the world.

There's something that I feel very few
people generate, and Lionel Messi can

generate it every time he's about to
score a free kick. And it's that the

stadium, whether it's the Inter -Miami
team, whether it's the rival team,

everyone gets up, takes out their cell
phones, because what is the probability

that Lionel Messi can score a goal? What
is the probability?

It was his debut.

He came without preseason.

Let's remember that he joined the team
just three or four days before.

He had the pressure to score in the 90
plus 2.

Maybe for an average player it was one
out of every 100.

But above all, I stay with the calm, the
tranquility with which he, knowing that

the world is putting his eyes on that
left foot at that moment, that calm is

admirable. It's admirable because...

It's all set up for him.

On his Inter -Miami debut in front of
over 22 ,000.

To introduce Inter -Miami Major League
Soccer to the global world here.

There was a moment when it got cold.

I'm trained to always say, like, nothing
is unbelievable, right? Because if it's

happened, it has to be believable. But
that was one of those moments where

you're just like, are you kidding me?

Those kids want to be here. That's the
only reason why he's here.

A winner at the depth for Inter Miami.

2 -1 over Cruz Azul.

It is Messi's moment. It is Messi's
night.

The pictures, the audio, they're selling
the moment. I don't have to add to it.

You get exactly what you pay for when
you watch Lionel Messi.

What will be seared into my brain for so
long is the look on David Beckham's

face five, ten minutes after the game's
over. And he's just kind of looking off

into the distance.

He's still in disbelief.

In these moments that you don't realize
they're that big and then they are.

Things have changed very, very quickly.

As a journalist, my life has definitely
changed.

The lives of fans in the U .S. have
changed.

There is nothing like this. And he
really does

transcend all of sports.

It was so perfect.

The perfect script to the Lino Messi
Miami story.

It was the perfect way to start it.

I mean, I didn't, did you expect this? I
didn't expect this, you know.

Para mi.

Miami is the city of the possible.

The city where you, as an immigrant, in
my case, I'm from Venezuela, you could

start from scratch, without absolutely
anything, and go step by step,

many goals.

And Lionel Messi, with this performance
in his debut, is the confirmation of

that American dream, of being able to
achieve things, of seeing differences.

The hardest thing, I think, for me right
now, is to think about 10, 15, 20, 25

years down the road because that's what
people are going to ask me.

They're going to ask me about the messy
experience.

And it's hard to do that right now
because I'm living in the moment. But

will always be one thing that I tell
until the day I die.

I've never seen a smile like that.

I've never seen a player in the blink of
an eye be happier.

You can see it on his face when he's
playing, when he's running and hugging

his... him celebrating his first ever
goal, he just seems to be so happy. And

deserves it. He deserves it.

It was a lightning strike for Inter
-Miami, the Mavs family, and David

And Major League Soccer and Apple TV are
along for the ride.

I don't think he's the biggest put -off
guy at all.

He'll be just fine here.
