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."
