Inter Miami midfielder Yannick Bright has shared his awe-inspiring experience of meeting Lionel Messi for the first time, describing the Argentine legend as a humble and extraordinary presence on and off the pitch. Despite being one of the greatest footballers of all time, Messi's humility has left a lasting impression on Bright, who credits the World Cup champion with elevating the profile of Major League Soccer (MLS). Messi's move to MLS after lifting the World Cup in Qatar marked a turning point for the league, with stadiums selling out, television interest surging, and Inter Miami fixtures becoming major events. His arrival also helped attract global talent to MLS, accelerating the league's growth and changing how football is viewed in the United States worldwide. Bright reflected on the surreal moment of meeting Messi for the first time, praising the Argentine icon's leadership, quiet authority, and relentless professionalism. 'Leo is a very humble person with an incredible aura,' Bright said. 'He presented himself as an ordinary person, but on the pitch, he turns into an animal.' Messi's influence extends beyond the pitch, with Bright crediting the veteran with helping him and the team both on and off the pitch. The two have developed a close relationship, regularly discussing football and sharing personal moments. 'A good relationship as teammates: we talk a lot about football, he tells me about his family and asks me about mine,' Bright said. 'He has been a great help in these two years.'
