Lionel Messi, known for his superb football skills and charismatic personality, has become a beloved figure for people worldwide. After choosing not to extend his contract with Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner joined Inter Miami in the MLS.

During an encounter with a young Inter Miami fan in American traffic, Messi reportedly moved the supporter to tears. The fan approached the 36-year-old Argentina captain and requested a kiss, and Messi, the former Barcelona and PSG star, obliged by kissing the man on the cheek.

Footage of the Inter Miami supporter crying and blowing a kiss to Messi as he drove away has gained popularity online.

Additionally, there was a story about a janitor named Cristian Salamanca who lost his job after seeking Lionel Messi’s autograph. Despite the job loss, Salamanca felt that the encounter with the superstar at Inter Miami was worth every second. Messi, who joined Inter Miami in the summer, quickly won the hearts of many supporters by scoring five goals in his first three games for the MLS franchise.

Messi’s decision to join Inter Miami over a record-breaking contract from Saudi Arabia Pro League club Al-Hilal was highlighted. His close friend, Sergio Agüero, believes Messi understands why he made that choice, turning down financial offers for the opportunity to play for David Beckham’s Inter Miami.
