The game between Inter Miami and Atlanta in the American Professional League (MLS) play-off round this morning was a special event. Accordingly, for the first time in history, a player can live stream every gesture on the field via a special camera.

Organizers of the American Professional Tournament have found a path “like no other.” Accordingly, they arranged professional cameras to closely follow Messi’s every move. They then streamed “Messi’s game” live via the Tiktok app. This program is called “Player Spotlight: Messi”.
A completely new football tracking experience awaits users there. They don’t follow every ball on the field, they just concentrate on watching their idols play. From Messi’s running steps to El Pulga exchanges with his teammates, he received huge attention from tens of thousands of people watching live at the same time.
In the game against Atlanta United, Messi played quite aggressively. In the first half, this player missed two good opportunities, including a shot that hit the opponent’s post in the 1st minute. In the second half, Argentine superstar Jordi Alba assisted on the goal, but also missed a delicious opportunity.

It is unclear whether the organizing committee will live stream Messi’s football match in Inter Miami’s next matches or not. It’s all just at test level.
However, that is not the only experience of watching Messi. The tournament organizers once had the idea of attaching a camera to Messi’s chest (not a remote surveillance camera).
There, fans can watch the game from “Messi’s perspective,” not from “the spectator’s perspective.” This experience will help them play and move the way Messi plays on the pitch. However, it is still only at the idea level and has not yet been implemented.
