Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal also makes it to the list, showcasing the growing popularity of the Middle Eastern league. The India Cricket Team and Texas rangers have also made their way to the top 10 of the list.
Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami this summer in a free transfer, playing a vital role in their Leagues Cup win. Messi scored 10 goals and assisted once in seven appearances, totalling 11 goals and five assists in 14 games.
