A recent video of Messi driving through the streets of Miami with his wife quickly went viral after fans recognized him and started shouting out his name as the 2022 World Cup champion. The 36-year-old football superstar took a moment to lower his car window and exchange a few words with the excited fans before driving off when the light turned green. The person who captured the interaction described Messi as humble and noted that he sometimes forgets just how famous he really is.
Messi joyfully greeted his admirers with a wave.
Beside Messi stands his wife, Antonella. The video has garnered 250,000 views on Twitter alone, along with numerous praises. One user on Twitter commended Messi for his humility and kindness. They mentioned how it is difficult to put into words the admiration people have for him. Another user humorously commented that they should start learning Spanish and drive around Miami for a week after seeing the video. A different person expressed their delight in seeing Messi lead a content life in Miami with his family and fans, contrasting it with negative behavior they claim a player at the Camel tournament (likely referring to Ronaldo) has displayed towards fans. In the 2024 season, Messi continues to impress at Inter Miami, scoring 10 goals and providing 9 assists in just 10 matches. Despite his stellar performance, his fitness is still a concern, as he was sidelined by coach Tata Martino in the most recent match.
Messi is enjoying his time in America and will soon head back to Argentina to team up with his fellow Argentine players for the upcoming Copa America tournament. As defending champions, Messi and his team are gearing up to defend their title on the field.
