After winning his eighth Ballon d’Or in Paris, Lionel Messi is back in Miami, United States to enjoy a well-deserved vacation and on Saturday night he could be seen enjoying Maluma’s concert.

The Argentine star, who failed to lead Inter Miami to the MLS playoffs, decided to take advantage of his free time before joining the Argentine team to face Uruguay and Brazil on the next FIFA date.

In this way, Messi attended the long-awaited concert of the famous Colombian singer, Maluma, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, which is part of his world tour, Don Juan Tour, and the presence of the 10 unleashed a standing ovation among the attendees, moving to social networks.

In images shared online, Maluma’s fervent followers could be seen turning their backs to the stage, eager to capture an image of the best soccer player in the world. It should be noted that, as it could not be otherwise, Messi was accompanied by his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and stood out by especially enjoying the song “Imposible.”

Lionel Messi, when talking about his next plans, shared his feelings regarding this period of rest, which he considers one of the most significant after his departure from Europe and his choice to join Inter Miami. “I have never spent so much time on vacation, perhaps it is the most difficult moment after having left Europe, having chosen Inter Miami. “I am very happy, I want to enjoy this moment with my family and spend more time in Argentina, which is what I always want.”he highlighted.

Regarding his agenda, Messi is scheduled to meet with the Argentine public on November 16, when the Argentine team faces Uruguay in La Bombonera, within the framework of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States in 2026. Then, the soccer star will travel to Rio de Janeiro with the Argentine delegation for the long-awaited Classic of the Americas, which will take place at the Maracaná on November 21.

Regarding his commitment to Inter Miami, the club recently announced the cancellation of a scheduled tour in China due to “unexpected circumstances.” NSN, the tour promoter, made the decision that will make it impossible for Messi and the pink team to play in the Asian giant.

Recall that Inter Miami had scheduled matches against Qingdao Hainiu FC in Qingdao on November 5 and later, against Chengdu Rongcheng on November 8 in Chengdu. These meetings were postponed due to the cancellation of the tour.

Now, despite this setback, Inter Miami remains firmly committed to expanding its global reach and exploring future opportunities with its outstanding players, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and possibly Luis Suárez in the coming season.

????Luis Suárez is the new reinforcement of the #InterMiamiCF . The Uruguayan striker will end the year in #Guild and will join Lionel Messi’s team in 2024.
*️⃣His contract will be for one season and the club will have the chance to extend it for another season. #Done deal pic.twitter.com/OqR715QyRL
