Because of Lionel Messi, Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., for once, will be a centerpiece of the sporting landscape this weekend.
Security measures are being ramped up like never before.
The 36-year-old legend has led Miami to eight consecutive victories — netting 10 goals — since his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in July, leading David Beckham’s club to a championship trophy in the Leagues Cup last weekend plus a spot in the U.S. Open Cup Finals in late September. Of course, mostly everyone else will be focused on Messi, who was photographed alongside tennis superstar Novak Djokovic — in town for the start of the U.S. Open next week — on Thursday night in New York.
“What he’s done for the league is incredible, and what he’s done for the game is incredible,” Lesesne said.
