Lionel Messi has many fans across the world, and in the United States, the fans try to find him in Miami. A group of fans managed to meet Messi, but it was in the middle of the street. Messi was recorded by fans at a red light and told him how he felt about him. The fan said, "We are Argentinians from Cordoba; thank you, Leo, for being the best and kindest. We follow you often. I'm madly in love with you. We are a band from Argentina, and we like you very much. Thank you not only for being the best player but also for being the best person." Messi kindly told them, "Thank you, Thank You," as he listened to them.

Messi also had fans show up at his front door in Miami. They were apparently neighbors of the Argentine, and the lady asked him for a signed shirt for her nanny's son. Messi did not complain, signed the shirt, and took pictures and videos with the fans. Messi seems to have created a huge buzz in the city of Miami since his arrival last summer.
