Messi's playoff match will be shown on a 25,000 square feet screen

The match was scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 26 local time. But in order not to interfere with Lionel Messi's Major League Soccer (MLS) playoff debut, Miami-Florida is being moved up a day to October 25, New York time.

MLS doesn't stop at just changing the schedule. Messi's debut in the playoffs of this league is being arranged so that the general public can see it as much as possible. Messi's Inter Miami playoff match will be shown on a 25,000-square-foot screen in New York's Times Square.

Miami defeated Columbus 3-2 last Wednesday to win the MLS Supporters' Shield as the best team in the regular season. They also get a special advantage as the number one team in both conferences of MLS. Miami will play all playoff games at home. Even if they make it to the MLS Cup final on Dec. 7, they will play it in Fort Lauderdale.

Messi said about the advantage of the home field, 'Since we will play all the matches at home, we will have a good advantage. I think we are very strong at home...I believe that home ground will give us a great advantage. Now we just have to prove ourselves.'

Messi's MLS playoff debut won't just be shown on a giant screen in New York's Times Square. Apple TV has also made the match open to everyone. Those who have not taken the MLS season pass can also watch this match on Apple TV.
