Lionel Messi changed the game for Major League Soccer (MLS). Ever since he arrive in 2023, things got crazy.

More fans, bigger ticket sales, crazy TV numbers. Before Messi, people talk about MLS but now they REALLY talk about MLS. His effect was huge, but now what comes next in 2025?

A Superstar Bring New Eyes

When Messi joined Inter Miami, everything changed overnight. Tickets? Gone in seconds. Jerseys? Sold out in minutes. Stadiums? Packed with people, many wearing pink because of Inter Miami. Even stars from the NBA, Hollywood, and music show up just to see him play. He made soccer in America big, like never before.

TV deals got better too. Apple TV got huge numbers when they signed Messi for their MLS Season Pass. Before Messi, people in Europe and South America didn't care much for MLS. But now? They are watching.

On The Field: Still The King

Even at 37, Messi still shows he’s top level. He scores amazing goals, assists teammates, and makes defenders look silly. Inter Miami went from struggling team to serious contender just because of him. His skills, vision, and leadership make every player around him better.

But the big question, can he still do it in 2025? Age catches up to everyone, even legends. Some say he might slow down, some say he proves them wrong. One thing for sure, MLS fans want more magic from him.

2025: What’s Next?

Messi’s contract with Miami runs until 2025. Will he stay longer? Or will he go back to Argentina to retire? Some rumors say he might try one last adventure in Saudi Arabia, where big money is waiting. Others believe he will play for his childhood club Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina before he stops for good.

And what about MLS? Messi changed everything, but can the league keep growing after him? MLS needs to use this moment, bring in more stars, and make the league stronger. Maybe more European legends will come, seeing Messi’s success.

The Messi Effect Lives On

No matter what happens in 2025, Messi’s time in MLS already made history. He made soccer in America bigger. He showed young players that MLS can be serious. And he gave fans memories they will never forget. Even when he leaves, his effect stays forever.
