Lionel Messi was mobbed by fans as he left the Adidas store in Miami in wild scenes.

Messi is settling in nicely at Inter Miami, having enjoyed a blistering start to life at his new club following his Paris Saint-Germain exit.

He already has three goals to his name as he scored a stunning, last-minute free-kick Cruz Azul on his debut for the club.

The star forward followed up that performance with a two-goal haul against Atlanta United, where he also provided an assist in his side's 4-0 victory.

Fans are flocking to the DRV PNK Stadium to witness greatness, with supporters leaving in their droves as soon as he left the field last Wednesday.

People are also following Messi around Miami, with a video showing a huge crowd gathered outside a local Adidas store.

The clip shows fans chanting his name, with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo ushering their kids to the car.

A fan even jumped on Messi for a selfie as security eventually got him inside the vehicle to return to his home.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner enjoyed himself last night as he went out with Inter Miami owner David Beckham and Sergio Busquets, who also joined the MLS side this summer.

Beckham recently spoke about the transfer to bring Messi to Inter Miami, revealing his feelings after striking a deal with the Argentine international.

"I never thought I would have the same feeling as an owner as I had when I was a player," he told The Athletic.

"When I got the phone call, I had the feeling I had when I walked out at Old Trafford or Wembley. I was like, 'We’ve just beaten all competition to sign the greatest player to ever play our game'."

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star also disclosed how he managed to secure Messi after the World Cup winner announced he was leaving PSG.

"It all came from a conversation over a glass of wine at dinner," he said.

"I turn to Jorge [Lionel Messi's father] and say, 'One day, we need Messi to come to our club'. It was probably when we first met... That was 10 years ago. So it was always in my mind."
