Messi’s popularity in the USA spiked following his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami in June 2023.
However, he was already America’s favorite professional soccer player before coming to Miami.
A few months after leading Argentina to FIFA World Cup glory in Qatar in December 2022, Messi was three times more popular among Americans than his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
He is now more than four times more popular than Ronaldo in the USA.
