Joe Burrow, Bengals stars show up big for Lionel Messi
Cincinnati Bengals showed up big this week for the highly anticipated U.S. Open Cup match between FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami.
Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were a few of the notable spotted at the match in customized FC Cincinnati jerseys.
The biggest detail, of course, was one of the world’s greatest footballers in the form of Lionel Messi making an appearance for Inter Miami. Entering Wednesday night, he had set a stunning pace in the U.S. with 10 goals in seven matches.
FC Cincinnati had a 2-0 lead before Messi’s side won on penalty kicks. Here’s a look at the star Bengals in attendance.
