Lionel Messi is enjoying his time off after ending the MLS regular season with Inter Miami, meeting fans, signing autographs, attending events and making even stars further starstruck.

Messi's first season with Inter Miami ended after the club missed out on a playoff spot despite a late fight to make it since Messi joined the team in July.

He wrapped the season up by winning his record-extending eighth Ballon d'Or in Paris last Monday, beating Erling Haaland and former teammate Kylian Mbappe.

As reported by Marca, he spent the weekend as a special guest at the concert of fellow South American singer Maluma, held in Miami, Florida.
