Athletistic / Football. Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi is recognized as the most popular athlete in the United States. The 36-year-old Argentinian came to the top of this ranking after the announcement of the results of an SSRS study.

Before Messi left for the United States, only seven became the best in different periods: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry and LeBron James (all in basketball), Peyton Manning and Tom Brady (both in American football ) and Tiger Woods (golf). .
Messi proved to be the most popular athlete in the fourth quarter of 2023, becoming the first football player to top the SSRS rankings. Note that in the first quarter of 2023, Brady was the leader in the rankings, and Jordan was the leader in the second and third quarters.
Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami in July 2023. He joined the American club as a free agent from French PSG. Last season, in 15 matches for the American club in all official tournaments, he scored 11 goals and six assists.
