JAKARTA - Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami is still promoting the euphoria of American football lovers. This can be seen from the enthusiasm of the audience ahead of La Pulga's inaugural away match.

Inter Miami is scheduled to have an away match to FC Dallas headquarters in the last 16 of the Leagues Cup. The match will be held at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Dallas, which has a capacity of 20,500 spectators on Sunday, August 6.

This match is actually not Messi's first moment playing for Inter Miami. But the match against FC Dallas will be Messi's first moment playing outside the DRV PNK Stadium.

Reporting from Bloomberg, the public's enthusiasm for watching Messi outside the home was evident from the fast runout of tickets. On Thursday, August 3 local time, FC Dallas even announced that match tickets against Inter Miami had sold out in 18 minutes.

Even though the ticket price for the two teams matches is priced at the cheapest for US$600 (Rp9 million). Meanwhile, the most expensive is sold for 20 thousand US dollars (Rp302 million).

However, this did not seem to dampen the fans' intention to be curious about Messi's appearance.

After moving to the US, Messi has played three games with Inter Miami. In the three games at the Leagues Cup, the Argentine star had a real impact.

In his debut match against Cruz Azul, Messi, who came on as a substitute, was able to score with a free kick to give Inter Miami a 2-1 win. Messi again showed off by scoring twice as Inter Miami won 4-0 over Atlanta United.
