The Barcelona ace was having an enjoyable time in Miami when a fan noticed him, and then it turned into a disaster. Some fans flashed camera lights in his face and they intruded on his private space. Messi is a tight-lipped celebrity, and it’s essentially because he tries to avoid being ambushed by fans just like it happened on this occasion. He almost got hurt as he was surrounded by hundreds of fans who wanted pictures. His security crew tried their best not to get out-muscled by the pouring fans who were dying to see the goat.
Messi is on a three-week holiday following Argentina’s success in Copa America. He led the team as they beat Brazil in the final, winning the highest goalscorer and player of the tournament, outperforming everyone by a clear mile at the age of 34.
Since his Copa America heroics, wherever he has stopped, people have demonstrated an incredible amount of love and appreciation to him for bringing back glory to his nation after 28 years of failure and Miami wasn't different.
