Lionel Messi's awkward moment in Miami after eating at a fancy restaurant

Lionel Messi is enjoying his vacation in Miami. He will no longer have official competitions in 2023 with Inter Miami and the Argentine National Team, so he will be able to rest for a long time before joining the preseason with The Herons, at the beginning of January. The start of the 2024 Major League Soccer season will be in February or March.

He has already assured that his idea is to travel to Rosario, his hometown, to spend Christmas and New Year's there, but he cannot do it yet. Before that, he has to wait for his sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro to have a break from school. That's why the family is still in Florida, enjoying their free time together, something they haven't been able to do since Leo has been a professional soccer player.

This week Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo went with his Inter Miami teammate Sergio Busquets and his wife Elena Galera to a fancy restaurant in Brickell called Sexy Fish. There the specialty is sushi, seafood, fish, Japanese-inspired meat and a selected collection of champagne, wine and cocktails.

However, something unexpected happened as they were leaving. As they were leaving the restaurant, dozens of fans were waiting for him to take pictures of Lionel and Antonela, so they had to be escorted by the security agents of the place. He got into his car, in the driver's seat, while she sat in the back. For a few seconds, the passenger seat was free and a fan took advantage of that, who tried to get into the car to take a picture of the Argentine forward. Fortunately, an agent pulled him out in time and nothing serious happened.

Inter Miami will have a great team

While Messi rests, coach Gerardo Martino and the club's chiefs are working to put together the squad for next season. Luis Suarez will be the first signing of 2024, but he will not be the only one. Rumors indicate that other stars such as Sergi Roberto and Ivan Rakitic could join.
