Inter Miami secured a significant 3-1 victory against LAFC on a memorable Sunday, underlining their determination to stage a late-season charge towards the MLS Cup playoffs.

However, it wasn’t just the win that took the spotlight that day.

What truly stole the show was the fact that the match marked Lionel Messi‘s debut in Los Angeles since his move to Inter Miami in MLS. This monumental occasion attracted a galaxy of Hollywood stars to the stadium, making it one of the most anticipated spectacles in American sports this year.

The list of noteworthy attendees read like a who’s who of Hollywood and beyond. Among those either spotted in the crowd or expected to be in attendance were Selena Gomez, Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Tyga, Gerard Butler, Tom Holland, LeBron James, Toby McGuire, Nas, Owen Wilson, and many more. Their presence added an extra layer of glamour and excitement to an already historic sporting event.
