On Monday, Apple TV+ unveiled the inaugural trailer for “Messi Meets America,” an upcoming documentary series chronicling the soccer icon’s journey to becoming part of Inter Miami and the MLS. The show is set to make its debut on October 11, 2023.

“Messi Meets America” narrates the tale of Lionel Messi’s pivotal decision to join Major League Soccer and Inter Miami CF. The series promises viewers an unparalleled look into the life of the soccer legend and the workings of the Inter Miami team.

As a fan of “Ted Lasso,” I couldn’t help but be intrigued by Messi’s foray into MLS, which led me to start following Inter Miami matches. Given my affinity for sports documentaries, I am undoubtedly looking forward to tuning in. It appears that Apple is gradually converting me into a football enthusiast.

The premiere of “Messi Meets America” is scheduled for October 11, 2023, featuring its first three episodes. Interestingly, additional episodes are currently in the works, and we can anticipate their release later in the season.
