Messi and Roccuzzo smiled waved to the packed house cheering them both while shown on Jumbotron. Coldplay singer Chris Martin Serenaded Messi and called him “No. 1 Sports Person over time.”
Messi’s appearance came in the midst of the controversy in the Major League Soccer.
Messi, and his Inter Miami teammate Jordi Alba, were suspended for a match last week after deciding to skip the big league-football-all-star game, which included a match against the stars of Liga MX from Mexico. Messi did not play in the middle of a packed schedule in the US and abroad while Alba was dealing with a previous injury.

Any player who does not participate in the All-Star game without the approval of the league is not eligible for their club’s next match.
“I know Lionel Messi loves this league,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. “I don’t think there’s a player – or anyone – who has done more for Major League Soccer than Messi. I understand, respect and admire his commitment to Inter Miami, and I respect his decision.
“Unfortunately, we have a long-term policy on participation in the All-Star game and we had to enforce it. It was a very difficult decision.”
Inter Miami -Team owner Jorge Mas called the rule “Draconian.”
