- Argentine icon taking on MLS challenge
- Family has joined him in Florida
- Excited to open a new chapter
WHAT HAPPENED? A stunning deal has taken seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi to the United States after reaching the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine icon has bid farewell to European football, as he readies himself for a fresh start in MLS, and he was given a rapturous – albeit a little rain-soaked – reception when being introduced to the Florida natives on Sunday. Roccuzzo was alongside her husband during his official unveiling – as were kids Thiago, Ciro and Mateo – with the Messi clan already feeling the “love” shown to them by a new fan base.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Roccuzzo posted on Instagram: “New beginnings. How beautiful the love with which they received you, Leo Messi! Always by your side!” She also included a video of her three sons donning Inter Miami jerseys and chanting the team’s name.

WHAT NEXT? Messi is set to make his debut for Inter Miami in a Leagues Cup clash with Cruz Azul on Friday and told those at his unveiling: “First of all I want to thank all the people of Miami for this welcome, this affection. I want to thank you for the kindness and love that you have given me. This has happened so fast. I am very happy to be here, to be with you. I want to thank Jose (Mas, Miami co-owner), David (Beckham) for the welcome. They are making everything easy for us, everything has been spectacular since we arrived. I really want to start training and compete. I want to win for the club to continue growing. I hope that you will join us as you have since the season began. I thank my new colleagues for the welcome. I am very happy to have chosen this city with my family, to have chosen this project. I have no doubt that we are going to have a good time. Thank you all very much for this day.”

A Miami Police lieutenant has been arrested on a domestic violence charge after he allegedly spit at and slapped his wife.
Lt. Thomas L. Carroll, 47, was arrested Saturday on a battery – domestic violence charge, an arrest report said.
Miami-Dade Corrections
According to the report, Carroll and his wife were involved in an argument when Carroll allegedly spit at her around 10 times.
He also allegedly slapped her twice in the face, the report said.
The wife ran out of the house and called police. The report said she didn’t have visible injuries but added that two witnesses corroborated her allegations.
Thomas was booked into jail and later released. Attorney information wasn’t available.
In a statement, Assistant Chief of Police Armando Aguilar said Carroll was relieved of duty pending further investigation.
“The Miami Police Department is committed to serving victims of domestic violence and holding the perpetrators of such crimes accountable for their actions. When acts of domestic violence are perpetrated by law enforcement officers, they are especially disheartening, as they represent a breach of the sacred trust placed in us by the people we serve,” Aguilar said in a statement. “We wish to thank the victim and witnesses in this case for coming forward. We are committed to ensuring that a thorough investigation is conducted and that the victim receives all necessary support throughout this process.”
Aguilar said Carroll was at one point an assistant chief of police but has been a lieutenant in the field operations division since 2023.
