I have been Googling a few times this AM but I cannot find viewership numbers for either.

I do see that Messi's debut has generated 3.5B views worldwide online but I can't confirm if that's just clips sharing or some combo of actual game audience.

Bigger Audience: Brittney Griner's return to the WNBA or Jordan's comeback after 1st retirement?

We'll never know the true audience number for Messi considering it was streaming behind an additional paywall on AppleTV+

The hoes apparently didn't sing the anthem for their game. Wish they would all move to Saudi Arabia

1 of the Spanish channels was able to broadcast it outside of Apple+/Apple TV. Apparently that feed that streamed worldwide outside of the U.S.
