Goosebumps in Miami! The Nu Stadium finally opened its doors and could not have had a more spectacular luxury godfather. The one in charge of making the thousands of souls present vibrate was none other than Marc Anthony, who performed The Star-Spangled Banner that left us all with our hearts in our hands.
The Puerto Rican-born performer stood with full authority in the center of the court to sing the anthem of the United States. With that voice that only he has, Marc achieved such an emotional version that even the most hardened were moved. But the moment that has already gone viral was not only the singing, but the reaction of the best in the world: Lionel Messi.
The applause of 10

At the end of the last note, the Miami team ‘s new stadium erupted in an impressive ovation, but the cameras stayed with Leo.
The Argentine star, visibly moved by the premiere of his new home, did not hesitate to applaud the 57-year-old singer-songwriter.
Total respect between legends!
The evening revolved, perhaps too much, around the inauguration of the stadium, an event for which Inter Miami spared no effort.
In addition to Marc Anthony’s rendition of the anthem, there were also fireworks.
A few words from the club’s co-founders, brothers Jorge and José Mas and David Beckham, delayed the start of the match by half an hour.

In addition to Marc Anthony and Leo, there were other great figures at Nu Stadium.
The inauguration of Nu Stadium looked like a Hollywood red carpet mixed with the World Cup.
In the VIP boxes we were able to see Ronaldo Nazário himself, the “Phenomenon”, who traveled to accompany his great friend David Beckham in this dream come true.
This premiere confirms that Inter Miami is not just a soccer team, it is the center of world entertainment.
Between Messi and Cristiano’s recent LEGO commercial, and now this unveiling, Miami is hotter than ever!
Did you like Marc Anthony’s version of the anthem or do you prefer someone more upbeat?
