“Lionel Messi is here … “
The trailer for the six-part Apple TV+ docuseries, “Messi Meets America,” kicks off with these words — reminding us of those surreal and heady summer days after the soccer superstar announced his plans to join MLS and don the pink-and-black colors of South Florida’s team, Inter Miami.
The “highly anticipated documentary event” premiered Oct. 11 with three episodes presented on the first day and the promise of three more. This week, Apple TV released the last episode, entitled “One Epic Summer.”
The website synopsis reads: “The club fight for a playoff spot as they wrap an unexpected and extraordinary season with Messi.”
The docuseries promised to take viewers behind the scenes as Messi joined his new squad and helped secure victories — even winning a Leagues Cup title, the team’s first championship.
“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 Leo’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,” according to an Inter Miami CF statement.
