1:47Now PlayingPresident Trump welcomed soccer team Inter Miami—including star forward Lionel Messi—to the White House on Thursday afternoon to celebrate their victory in the MLS Cup Championship. Inter Miami won the cup in a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps in December.
"We're thrilled to host the 2025 MLS Cup Champions, Inter Miami," the President said. "It's my distinct privilege to say what no American president has ever had the chance to say before—welcome to the White House, Lionel Messi!"
The President noted that his son Barron had expressed excitement at Messi's visit: "He's a big fan of yours…a tremendous fan of yours and a gentleman named Ronaldo."
Messi and Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas presented President Trump with his own jersey—featuring number 47— and a commemorative soccer ball.
