Messi in Cleveland? Columbus Crew to host Miami at Browns stadium

This match marks his debut with Inter Miami CF in the Leagues Cup, a competition involving teams from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Mexico's Liga MX. The game has generated significant interest, with ticket prices soaring due to Messi's participation.

The event not only highlights Messi's impact on soccer in the U.S. but also underscores the growing popularity of the Leagues Cup.
