LIONEL MESSI is already a legend in the Inter Miami group chat after sorting his new team-mates some tickets.
The Argentine legend was unveiled as the MLS’s newest and biggest superstar at a welcoming event in Fort Lauderdale, where he was presented with a jersey.
But the ceremony was so in-demand not even Miami forward Leonardo Campana could get enough tickets.
So it shocked DeAndre Yedlin & Co when the main man himself surprisingly popped up to save the day.
Yedlin told media: “Actually for the little event that he had, well, I say little event…
“The big event that he had on Sunday, Campana was looking for tickets and he put in the group chat, ‘Hey, does anybody have any tickets?’

“And then I didn’t even know that Leo was in or Messi was in the group chat yet.
“But he popped up straight away and said, ‘How many do you need though?’ Straight away like that.
“So just from there I was like, ‘Wow.’ Straight off the bat. They’ve known each other for maybe, I dunno two days, three days or something.
“But just to show that generosity, that is a great first example of how he is.”
