Lionel Messi: Inter Miami Star Signs Argentina Shirt for Fan While Stuck in Traffic

• Lionel Messi recently signed a fan's shirt while in traffic
• The fan threw over the Argentina shirt through his car window
• Messi duly obliged by signing the shirt before driving off

Imagine this. You are somewhere along the streets of Florida. It's probably rush hour, you are rushing to get home, but the traffic is ganged up against you.

You are listening to your favourite music as you wait for the lights to turn green. You lift your head to see who else you are stuck in traffic with, only for you to lock eyes with Lionel Messi.

You know, the one Messi of the eight Ballon d'Ors, over 800 career goals, a World Cup trophy, among other things? That one. Some people call him the greatest of all time and maybe if you were at a local hangout, you'd be embroiled in that never-ending GOAT debate.

Yassine Cheuko- Messi's bodyguard

But here you are, less than two metres apart. His window is rolled down and he seems to be alone. You do another quick spot-check and Yassine Cheuko, his shadow of a bodyguard, isn't around. What are the odds, right?

Luckily for you, that's the day you remembered to carry your Argentina jersey. It's definitely not the same one they wore when they won the World Cup in Qatar, but who cares, really?

You take another leap of faith and wave the shirt towards Messi and thank heavens, he knows the drill. He beckons you to throw the shirt over. You don't have a pen, but your GOAT, as he is always on the pitch, is a problem solver; he leans over his dashboard, emerges with a pen and voila, he signs the shirt.

As you continue serenading him with the 'thank yous' and 'you are the best', some jealous freak behind you is getting jealous and asks you to keep moving. Messi returns your shirt, winks the way he does before putting a free kick in the top corner, then speeds off.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the experience some lucky guy got recently from Messi himself. Good thing he recorded the whole experience, in case you are a doubting Thomas. Who would have believed him?

Methinks he will never curse being in traffic ever again. Some people are luckier than others, eh?
