Lionel Messi's first MLS game in LA brought out the Hollywood stars
- Inter Miami defeated LAFC in Lionel Messi's first MLS match in LA.
- The game attracted a lot of big names to see Messi.
Inter Miami picked up a big 3-1 win over LAFC on Sunday as they try to make a late-season push to the MLS Cup playoffs.
But let's face it: Their win was the secondary story that day.
More importantly, the match marked Messi's first game in Los Angeles since signing with Inter Miami of MLS. Because of that, many Hollywood stars made their way to the stadium for the biggest spectacle in American sports this year — watching Messi play.
The list of notables who were either spotted among the fans or expected to be in attendance included Selena Gomez, Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Tyga, Gerard Butler, Tom Holland, LeBron James, Toby McGuire, Nas, and Owen Wilson, among others.
Herculez Gomez of ESPN Deportes shared a list of the "notable attendees."
Among those spotted in the stands were Gomez and Tyga, who were shown reacting to Messi being denied a goal by a great save from LAFC.
DiCaprio was spotted eating a cool snack.
Prince Harry was photographed sans Markle.
Will Ferrell, part of LAFC's ownership group, showed off his championship ring to MLS cameras.
Edward Norton was also on hand.
Mario Lopez was there to support LAFC.
Of course, David Beckham, who is part of the Inter Miami ownership group and was instrumental in bringing Messi to the US, was seen on the sideline.
And the list just kept going for the biggest show in American sports.
