Paul Tenorio
In The Messi Effect, Paul Tenorio, national soccer writer for The Athletic, draws on coveted insider access to bring listeners behind the ropes and into the inner sanctum and chronicle the last act of Lionel Messi.
The Messi Effect takes you inside the locker room as Messi’s arrival turned a last-place team into a global phenomenon, and into the Major League Soccer boardroom as league owners debated how to leverage Messi’s arrival to shape the future of the league and sport in America. From his cinematic debut goal to his first trophy with Miami and across two more transformative seasons, Messi’s impact was immediate and enormous. His pink No. 10 shirt became the world’s best-selling jersey, MLS stadiums sold out in city after city, and Inter Miami’s valuation soared past $1 billion.
This is an audiobook about one man's legacy in a rapidly growing and changing game. It's a story about the business of sport and how a player can be both athlete and economic engine. It’s an inside look at how the business of MLS evolved historically and in real time after the legend’s arrival. And it's the story of how a GOAT rides off into the sunset, the choices he makes, and the aftereffects of his greatness for future generations.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press
Reseñas de la crítica
"No one is better positioned to tell this story than Paul Tenorio. One of the most trusted voices in American soccer, he delivers the definitive account of Lionel Messi’s time in MLS and its transformative impact on the league and the sport in the United States." —Landon Donovan, six-time MLS Cup winner and U.S. men’s national team legend
"Messi's Miami journey has been one of the most fascinating stories in modern American footballing history and there is no better writer to tell it than Paul Tenorio." —Roger Bennett, New York Times bestselling author and founder and CEO, Men In Blazers Media Network
"The Messi Effect is a story about soccer and business but also people — the sport’s leaders and dreamers, as well as the people who come into their orbits. This book takes readers into boardrooms and locker rooms, and in the process explains why the sport is the way it is in this country." —Dylan Hernandez, Los Angeles Post columnist
"Just as Paul has assumed the mantle of best soccer writer in America, The Messi Effect, the lineal successor to the late, great Grant Wahl's The Beckham Experiment, takes its place as the most important American soccer book of its generation." —Garth Lagerwey, three-time MLS Cup winning GM
"The comprehensive story of the league Messi walked into, and how he might change it forever." —Michael Cox, author of Zonal Marking and The Mixer
"Paul has long been among the very best journalists in American soccer, in the truest sense of that word. It's only right that he brings the same high standard to telling this story." —Jonathan Tannenwald, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Ahead of the World Cup, The Messi Effect examines the influence of one of the sport’s brightest stars on Major League Soccer, and how the league embraced — and squandered — a crucial opportunity for its growth and relevance. Paul brings readers from the pitch to the boardroom, understanding not just the details of roster rules but the power of storytelling to reveal the true state of men’s professional soccer in 2026 and beyond." —Meg Linehan, Women's Sports Lead at The Athletic
"Tenorio expertly weaves business reportage with a rousing narrative of Messi’s role in validating the MLS as a global competitor. This will entertain soccer fans." —Publishers Weekly
