After two years at Paris Saint-Germain, Messi chose not to renew his contract. With FC Barcelona facing financial issues, returning to Spain was off the table.
Opting to take his career overseas, Messi declined a lucrative offer from Saudi Al-Hilal in favor of joining Inter Miami, a club owned by the former footballer David Beckham.
Inter Miami fans have much to celebrate as Messi's move was followed by the arrival of other ex-FC Barcelona talents, including Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets.
Since joining Major League Soccer, Messi's journey has been filled with remarkable incidents. One such memorable moment involved a fan's pitch invasion to get a photo with him, a story we covered HERE.
At that time, Messi graciously made his fan's dream come true and even chatted with her.
"The few seconds when Leo Messi held me were the most beautiful moments of my life. Then he told me: 'Run, run fast, before security catches you'," Antonella Siegert confessed.
Despite following one of the world's best footballers' advice, the 13-year-old Venezuelan couldn't elude security. Nonetheless, this young fan will cherish the encounter and her photo with Messi for life.
