Apple TV+ has announced a new untitled six-part documentary series from Smuggler Entertainment, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes access to soccer player Lionel Messi as he makes his debut in Leagues Cup and Major League Soccer.
After more than 20 years of excellence between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain F.C., and winning the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with the Argentina national football team, Messi recently made a landmark decision that forever changed the face of soccer in North America by joining Major League Soccer and Inter Miami CF. Fans in more than 100 countries and regions can watch Messi take the pitch with Inter Miami CF on MLS Season Pass, the subscription service from Apple and Major League Soccer on the Apple TV app.
The series takes viewers behind-the-scenes as Messi attempts to lead his new team to a Leagues Cup title and beyond. From selling out record crowds across America at breakneck speed, to his incredible last-minute game-winning goal in his very first match, to moments with Messi and his Inter Miami CF teammates, the series chronicles Messi’s immersion in America, the remarkable journey and transformation of Inter Miami CF, and most significantly, the impact he is currently having on soccer in North America as “Messi Mania” crisscrosses the continent.
