International soccer superstar Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami CF squad will play a regular-season match against D.C. United at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore this upcoming season.

The award was part of SPORT’s Valores Del Deporte gala. Recognitions were handed out while Messi was representing Argentina during the November international action. Upon his return to Miami, SPORT traveled to the U.S. to personally give Messi the award, prompting an emotional reaction from the Barcelona legend.
