Plot Synopsis

MESSI MEETS AMERICA is a six-part documentary that features exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Lionel Messi, the greatest soccer player of all time, as he makes his debut in Leagues Cup and Major League Soccer. After 20+ years of excellence between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, and winning the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with the Argentina national football team, Messi made a landmark decision by joining Major League Soccer and Inter Miami CF. From selling out record crowds across America at breakneck speed, to his incredible last-minute game-winning goal in his very first match, to moments with Messi and his Inter Miami CF teammates, the series chronicles Messi's immersion in America, the remarkable journey and transformation of Inter Miami CF, and most significantly, the impact he is currently having on soccer in North America as "Messi Mania" crisscrosses the continent. The first three episodes of MESSI MEETS AMERICA dropped on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 on Apple TV+.
