Footage of football legend and current Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi planting a kiss on a fan has emerged as he continues to impress in America.
Messi, 36, completed his switch from Paris Saint Germain to join the MLS side and has wasted no time in asserting his dominance within the new settings, scoring five goals in just three appearances for the club.
Away from his strong showings on the pitch, Messi is dominating headlines as fans clamber the streets of Miami to meet and interact with the man that guided Argentina to their third World Cup win back in December.
