LeBron James, one of the greatest athletes of all time, came from Los Angeles to the DRV PNK Stadium in Miami to observe Lionel Messi's debut in Leagues Cup 2023.
The meeting between the two legends took place a few minutes before the start of the game that ended with a 2-1 Inter Miami CF win over Cruz Azul thanks to a great free kick from the Argentine.
Both came together in an affectionate hug that quickly spread entire world due to the significance of the greeting.
As if that were not enough, minutes later, LeBron posted a photo of the greeting through his social networks and dedicated a heartfelt message to Lionel Messi: "Welcome brother!!! It's always nice to see and be in the presence of GREATNESS!!! @leomessi".
Not only did LeBron James surrender to the magic of Lionel Messi. Another sports legend like Serena Williams was in the stands with her friend Sergio Agüero; the singers Becky G and Marc Anthony were also there, as well as the American model Kim Kardashian.
