Early Monday, Inter Miami unveiled Lionel Messi as their new player, the event is now the most-watched football presentation around the world, breaking the record of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr unveiling. 

It seems that the competition between Messi and Ronaldo will never end, even with the soon end of their careers.

Lionel Messi’s unveiling at Inter Miami got more than 3.5 billion views, however, it had a lesser attention by social media users than Ronaldo's. 

Ronaldo's unveiling was watched by more than 3 billion viewers worldwide, and it set a new record before the arrival of Messi in the MLS.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup final was watched by 1.12 billion viewers. It was the most-watched football event ever, before it was replaced by Messi and Cristiano's presentations.
