After electing 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.
After seeing the World Cup winner in American traffic, Messi reportedly moved a young Inter Miami fan to tears, according to Sportskeeda.
A fan approached the 36-year-old Argentina captain and requested a kiss; the former Barcelona and PSG great complied and kissed the man on the cheek.
The footage of the Inter Miami supporter crying and blowing a kiss to Messi as he drove away has subsequently become popular online.
How Messi affected the cleaner’s job
According to Football Transfers, Cristian Salamanca, who lost his job after seeking Lionel Messi for an autograph, felt that the superstar encounter at Inter Miami was worth every second.

Messi only joined Inter Miami this summer, but after scoring five goals in his first three games for the MLS franchise, he has already won the hearts of many supporters.
