Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had nothing but praise for Lionel Messi when asked about the Argentine’s planned attendance at Super Bowl LIX.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made his stance on the “greatest of all time” debate in soccer clear, declaring World Cup champion Lionel Messi as the GOAT. The three-time Super Bowl champion praised the Argentine star when asked about the forward’s potential attendance at the title game between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
“He’s the GOAT of his profession, and to have someone like that at the game will be awesome because I’ll get to showcase who I am and what talent I have,” Mahomes told reporters on Feb. 4 about Messi.
He recalled watching Messi play for Inter Miami in Kansas City. “I got to watch him when he played in Kansas City—I think it was last year or maybe a couple of years ago—and he had a couple of goals in that game. You see the greatness that he displays every single day. So, [he’s] someone else that I can look up to and try to get on his level someday,” he added.
According to a report from USA Today, Messi wants to attend the game on Feb. 9. However, he is expected to play in a preseason match for Inter Miami in Honduras on Saturday night. The flight from Honduras to South Florida takes just over two hours, similar to the travel time between South Florida and New Orleans.
