Lionel Messi continues to get praise. Not because of his brilliant performances on the field with Inter Miami, Messi also reaps praise for his humble attitude towards fans. Messi was caught on camera willing to meet his fans in the middle of a red light on a street in Miami.
While driving his car and waiting for the green light to turn on, suddenly a teenager came up to Messi. The teenager had said that he really loved Messi and wanted to get a kiss from him. “I love you very much captain, kiss me,” said the unnamed teenager.
The former Barcelona captain then shook hands and gave the teenager a kiss. Messi immediately advanced his car and left the teenager. The teenager also looked touched and could not believe what he was experiencing.
Messi’s commendable action is actually not the only time this has happened. The La Masia academy graduate did good to his teammates. One way is to buy a gift of pink ‘Beats by Dre’ headphones like the Inter Miami jersey. Before that, Messi had also shown his angelic attitude to one of the Inter Miami players, Leandro Campana. The former Barcelona captain also gave match tickets to the Campana family who didn’t get one.
The presence of Lionel Messi at Inter Miami really made football fans in the United States very enthusiastic. The enthusiasm of the Inter Miami supporters has even paid off in Messi’s first three matches. So far, Messi has defended Inter Miami three times in the 2023 Leagues Cup. From these three matches, La Pulga has shown extraordinary performance with his new club.
Messi successfully recorded five goals and one assist while playing three times for Inter Miami. Messi’s first goal came when Inter Miami beat Cruz Azul 2-1 in the group stage. What’s more special, Messi’s goal was created from a free kick and became the winner for The Herons. In the following match, the 36-year-old attacker appeared even crazier. Messi successfully recorded two goals and one assist to help Inter Miami win 4-0 over Atlanta United.
The victory successfully led Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino’s team to qualify for the round of 32. In the round of 32, Inter Miami met their arch-rivals, Orlando City, in the Florida Derby. In that match, Messi scored two goals again and led Inter Miami to win with a score of 3-1. Thanks to these great performances, Messi is increasingly loved.
