The biggest sporting event in the United States has all the spotlights on it, but in addition to this, it attracts the special attention of stars just as big as the event. The Super Bowl LIX would have the interest of the Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi.
According to La Nación de Buenos Aires, Messi, the star of Inter Miami and the Argentine National Team, has intentions of attending the Super Bowl, which will be played on February 9 at the Superdome in New Orleans.
This is known about the Argentine's agenda
The aforementioned source mentions journalistic reports stating that the forward wants to attend the match but it is not yet confirmed whether the footballer will be able to be present at the National Football League (NFL) final.
According to a source close to the former Barcelona FC player who spoke to USA TODAY, Messi's desire to attend the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles would be conditioned by his tight sports schedule.
The captain of Argentina has a preseason match with Inter Miami in Honduras on Saturday at 8:00 PM (ET). Meanwhile, the NFL final will start at 6:30 PM (ET) in New Orleans.
After the match, the team of the Argentine star usually flies back to Florida right away, a trip of just over two hours. The distance from Miami to New Orleans is similar, which would allow him to arrive on time for the most important event in American football.
On the other hand, Patrick Mahomes, star of the Kansas City Chiefs, was asked about the possibility of Messi attending the Super Bowl and did not hesitate to praise the Argentine. “He is the best of all time in his profession and having someone like that in the game will be incredible, because I will be able to show who I am and the talent I have,” the quarterback stated in comments published by Mundo NFL.
