From royalty to sports and entertainment icons, the stars were out in Los Angeles on Sunday night to watch Lionel Messi lead Inter Miami CF into his first match against reigning MLS Cup champion LAFC.
The superstar forward entered the match looking to continue the strong start to his MLS career, one that’s attracted publicity for the league and his team around the world. And, while Messi’s previous matches have had a who’s who of celebrities in attendance, Sunday’s guest list took the word “expansive” to new heights.
Among the high-profile names on-hand included Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as LAFC part-owners, actor Will Ferrell and NBA and Lakers icon Magic Johnson, who was humbly listed as only “LAFC Owner.”
