Lionel Messi started a new life in the United States, a country where he will play in MLS and will be part of Inter Miami for the next two seasons with an option to extend the relationship for a third year. Awaiting his official introduction as the American club’s new player, the Argentinean appeared in a supermarket, surrounded by his entire family and in full view of the public.
“It’s true that I’m a privilege because of everything I’ve had to experience, but there are times I’d like to remain anonymous and enjoy visiting a market, a cinema or a restaurant,” he said months ago in an interview with journalist Pablo Giralt. Some time later, those words of the “flea” make sense.
Where did Lionel Messi go with his family?
According to reports in the Argentine press, like any ordinary person walking down the street, the “10” shopped at a supermarket chain called Publix.
A few minutes later, people recognized Lionel Messi and asked him for photos, to which the footballer easily agreed, seen smiling next to Miami residents.
