Lionel Messi is looking to move past his third consecutive home draw with Inter Miami after Saturday’s 1-1 tie against the New England Revolution. Now, he has turned his attention to his new club, UE Cornellà.
The Catalan team he acquired on April 16 of this year played its match against CE Europa B this Sunday, and Messi was closely following and cheering on Cornellà.
Leo is closely following his new club
On his official Instagram account, the captain of the Argentine national team shared a story with his more than 512 million followers, watching the riverside team’s match live.
In the shared image, Messi showed the live stream of the match accompanied by a brief message of encouragement:
“Vamosss!!,” [Let’s go] he wrote, in addition to tagging the official accounts of the club that plays in RFEF Third Division.
The post did not go unnoticed and adds to the strong impact generated by his arrival as an owner. Since the purchase was confirmed, Cornellà has experienced exponential growth in popularity, especially on social media.
In fact, it has surpassed Espanyol in number of followers-something that, just a few days ago and without Leo’s arrival, would have seemed crazy. Today, it has over 741,000 followers.
Furthermore, the presence of the #10 as owner raises questions and possibilities for the future, such as potential investments, signings, and other aspects that could elevate the club’s competitive level. And, as he made clear with this gesture, he doesn’t want to miss a single detail about his new team, which he follows very closely.
Meanwhile, as he begins to build his managerial career, he continues his professional career at Inter Miami. Following the recent draw, Leo and his teammates are preparing to face Orlando City on May 2 at Nu Stadium and fight for their first home victory since the stadium’s opening.
