I got $100,000 Seats To Watch Messi In Miami 

Unbelievable. The greatest guy in the world and Messi meet. Congrats Messi

That absolutely counts as meeting Messi! So happy you got to experience that moment! What a day for the sport in this country

This channel really does just get crazier and crazier

As a fellow messi fanboy, I’m both jealous and happy for you mate! Keep up the great work

From collector football kits to being in a VIP box at Messi debut. You deserve it mate!

Mate, this is unbelievable. What an opportunity, what a moment, what a finish. This is well deserved Ellis, your channel is honest and authentic, many more of these moments to come im sure 👍👏

Unbelievable and so incredibly deserved for all the work you’ve done so far, keep going man many more incredible things to come💪

Once again, WORLD CLASS from Platten. From going to football matches in hotdog suits to meeting Lionel Messi, incredible. Up.The. Awaydays.

Congrats on meeting Messi, you really deserve it!

👏 👏 👏… brings a tear to my eye. i feel like our boy has grown up and graduated to some new level. Good on ya, Ellis.

It really amazing to genuinely love a guy like Messi up to the level that such amazing moments from him makes you forget all what you are going through even if it just for some few minutes and be happy like you are on top the world.

Insane, mate! Just when it's like you can't go up another level. You defo just met Messi! Looking forward to seeing how you even top this next season 😅👏

What an incredibly journey, awesome video Ellis! Smashing it.

Wow what an experience that must've been! Not quite Zalgiris, but close

@12:57 man is literally stood right behind Mess's wife! 👀

I watched this match on TV last night and my mouth dropped when he scored that free kick. I can only imagine how YOU might have felt watching it live!!!! Congrats my friend. And, I hope I win that training top 😉

A dream debut, a match he and you never will forget. I have a real feeling the messi effect will happen in Miami almost bottom of the table don't expect them to be there long with Busquets and Alba to help. Give Jodie our best and can't wait to see more.

I'm so glad that Messi didn't go to the Saudis. the MLS isn't much better football-wise but the theatrics of it are much more entertaining

Honestly Ellis, your content is my favourite to watch on this platform. Been amazing to see your progress through the years.

Real inter miami supporter since day one. Im glad you got to experience this event we love all the new fans we are getting. Its a dream for us to call our team the home of messi. Good luck

Underrated football channel humble bloke doing great things congrats on meeting Messi 🫡

As an American, I don’t know if they have ever done a “flyover” for an MLS game before today 🐐😅

Actually crazy, seeing your excitement with having the🐐 so close is amazing, not as exciting as game in the Dragão tho, you gotta come for at least a game this season, Porto misses you💙🐉

I knew this would happen i told you on previous videos the sky is the limit for you. You being so genuine and lovable in your videos is refreshingly keep it up. P.s if you think thats good try and get a seat at the abax next to barry fry then you will be star struck!

That was unreal! How lucky were you to get them kind of seats and to also BE in Messi's presence?! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. Just a shame you didn't get a photo with him but you never know...life likes to throw us some good surprises at times.

Watching Messi scored free kick at his historical debut in America will never happened twice

This is insane, well deserved for such a great channel 👏👏

8:23 Danny Aaron’s decided to pull up😂

A messi video without a scam involved is historic

Another banger from the legend himself! Thanks for bringing us kick ass content on a regular basis man you are truly reaching amazing heights! If Messi was going to come to the US, Miami is the perfect landing spot IMO. The Latin and South American influence in Miami is massive, so you undoubtedly have an enormous amount of people who already love the game and Messi. They just happened to immigrate to the US. As a US born fan of the game, I love to see more people falling in love with the beautiful game. Our country is a melting pot of cultures, many of which love football and I feel like that isnt realized or appreciated in reference to American fans. I grew up with a ball at my feet because of my grandfather before I played anything else and that is the same story for many of the last 2 or 3 generations of people in the US. I appreciate the game and culture surrounding it, grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s watching United, Arsenal, and Madrid since they garnered the most global coverage. I love that the game is becoming more accessible here and hope it pulls more kids in like it did me.

I hope we are getting a shirt shopping video in Miami, loads of great charity shops. Also, I downloaded Momento, I really like it. My only suggestion is if they could add preseason for NFL. Great video as always, Ellis.

That must be one of the best vlogs i have seen. You really are living the dream Ellis. The hype around Messi is unreal. Shame you couldnt show the free kick that won the game. Are you being serious about that 100,000 dollar ticket

Title should have been "Leo Messi meets Ellis" - awaydays is massive, deserve all the success

Congratulations, Ellis! I've become a fan of your content in the past few months and love the enthusiasm and joy you put into it. You absolutely deserve this and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed watching it!

Seen you on the MLS highlights aswell lad! Class video mate you deserve everything that comes your way

Thank you for providing coverage to the league many American fans have slowly watched grow through the years. This is a huge day for the MLS!

So many football YTers out there, Ellis is one of the only ones who really deserves an opportunity like this. Well done from NYC! Looking forward to getting clobbered by Messi when the time comes. It'll be an honor. An HONOR, sir.

Ellis you should come to Atlanta for an Atlanta United game. The crowds are always electric with attendances getting up to 75k

This time of crazy 12:30 😅 It would be mental if he goes score this it’ll probably float over though if I’m be honest Past second: Goal free kick by Messi ⚽️🐐🔥 everyone celebrate.

Ellis these videos genuinely just keep getting better and better absolutely incredible once again

Que privilegio donde estuviste !!! ver al mas grande de todos tan cerca !!! gracias por compartir !! messi feliz nosotros felices !!!

Ellis casually just have a high-five to Messi's brother. Unreal!

happy for you man! EDIT- well still happy you got to be there next to his fam XD , jumped the gun in thinking you got the photo

Absolutely crazy Ellis is the most insane RU-vidr ever

This channel is an absolute rollercoaster that just never stops & I’m here for every second of it!

I know Miami is known, but to see the city get the spotlight like this from all around the world still blows my mind 🤯

What a video. Once in a lifetime experience and it is what the greatest of all time does scoring a last minute free kick. Also unreal giveaway item. This channel is insane

Love the channel❤ better and better each vid❤❤

Loving all of your amazing content Ellis and CONGRATULATIONS on getting a photo with Messi ❤

this is absolutely mental, what a journey you've had Ellis, very proud

I didn't think you would of made it up to that point but you did Ellis. You actually talked to Messi face-to-face! Mission Accomplished!

Well deserved mate ! Being watching the channel for years and you’ve earned it MOT !!

So sick!!!! Happy for you man

I was fortunate enough, with 70,000 other fans in Houston, Texas, to watch Messi and Barcelona play against Club America. I was on the end about 30 rows up and after halftime, Messi, Ronaldinho, and Eto'o all started warming up in front of me. It was amazing. Mind you, this wasnt Messi of 2023, it was young Messi of 2006 who was just 19. You're a very lucky guy to be so close to one of the greatest ever.

I literally smiled for half an hour after watching this vlog 😭. Keep it up Ellis!

Fair play what a gig. Gutted you didn't get a picture but you're moving in the right direction. Keep pushing forward goals are being achieved. BTW need a J LEAGUE connect!

Watched this on TV and I had chills, can’t imagine what it was like in person! You need to do a video where you rank every experience you’ve had so far!

Ellis in the form of his life you love to see it

Video as insane as always! LEGEND.

That was the best Inter debut video I’ve seen , appreciate your calm and dry narration. Plus your view of his family 😍

'damn, is that Ellis Platten from the RU-vid channel AwayDays?!' - Kim Kardashian

An absolute wild video I cannot see a bigger vlog all season

My man! That is absolutely insane! I hope Miami and my team (Real Salt Lake) meet in the US Open Cup. If they both advance, Miami will play in my hometown and I’ll definitely be getting tickets!

Congratulations mate! One of those ‘I was there’ days and to be pied by the GOAT too, it doesn’t get much better 😂 nah in all seriousness it’s a result of the hard work you’ve put in congratulations well deserved what a vlog!!

You need to come to a St Louis home game. It's been crazy!

Messi is my idol i will most likely never get to witness him playing sadly. He's truly the greatness player. But who will pay 100k to watch him play I think that's an absurd amount to pay even if you are going to watch the 🐐 play

Have followed your channel for 5 years I love all the early day videos in the Non-League and it’s INCREDIBLE how far you have come. Your content is on another level , congrats on meeting Messi 🐐

What a video! Your reaction to the free kick is immense!

Come to Linz to view a game of LASK in the new stadium, it is beautiful and the atmosphere is also very good ❤

Incredible. Hope you get to visit FC Cincinnati’s TQL stadium. Some of the best facilities in the league and currently the the top team in the league.

BUEN VIDEO BRO SIGUE ADELANTE

Insane opportunity for you to see that game, especially in those seats! What a goal at the end by Messi!!!

Unbelievable moment and awesome that you were there in person

Love the CITIZENM hotel. Just stayed in one last weekend in Seattle.

The genuine raw joy when you saw Messi score that freekick!

Couldn’t help yourself with your goal celebration in America Ellis 😂🎯 BIG Congratulations tho, fantastic content and you deserve this!

Ellis, my man, thisnis your mangum opus! Utterly insane! Legit rubbing shouldered with the elite hahah

Been class watching the channel take off mate. Buzzing for u

Amazing mate! Can't believe he celebrated right with you pretty much 🤩🐐

didn't get to watch h this video till today, but wow oh wow Ellis! No words can describe how cool your channel has become over recent years, I hope you had an incredible time and hope you can come back to the US to see him again. MOT Up the AwayDays!!!

What an experience Ellis! Amazing, and buzzing for you!

Ellis your content just keeps getting better and better

Jaaaaaaaaaaa espectacular, estas loco Ellis, mis felicitaciones

Everything in life is a gamble and if i had that money to go see a historic game like that one I'd do it. To see a buzzer beater was even more awesome than expected. Im so happy for you and you even got rewarded as a double bonus for him to acknowledge you🎉 Amaizing

We need a full match/post match experience from ya!

Am I the only person who watched this channel years ago at some piss poor non league side who is thinking wtf is going on here? On a serious note, fair play your channel deserves it. Take care brother

Your channel must be the envy of other football vloggers. Outstanding content once again.

BRO I WISH I COULD SEE MESSI LIKE THAT

That 'Oh, F**k me' was the the most genuine and hilarious thing ive seen all week

so buzzing for you Ellis 🐐

Should be class watching messi talk about his favourite football shirts and Ellis talk about Leeds and long sleeve shirts on the next shirt shopping video

You know this was really fun ... felt like I was there 😢 so emotional... woohoo 🤙good job man

Downloaded the app and also following you. Great vid again x
