Inter Miami star Lionel Messi and his family enjoy music from Ed Sheeran at a concert.

Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, together with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, enjoyed a wonderful day with Ed Sheeran.

The entire Messi family attended Ed Sheeran's outstanding performance.

The Argentine superstar really taped a video of his kids singing to save the moment forever and demonstrate the family's devotion to Sheeran.

Messi posted the video of Mateo and Ciro excited while singing "Bad Habits" at the ceremony, all while their World Cup-winning father is secretly recording.

The Messi family is seen posing with Sheeran in another photo; the two first met in Paris as he is among the 304 unique people Messi follows on social media.

In 2021, Ed Sheeran and Messi crossed paths at a Paris Saint-Germain game, where the singer approached Leo to take a photo with him.

Messi's wife Antonella Roccuzzo, who is also a fan of Sheeran, was unable to meet the music star.

Sheeran assured Antonela that he would see her in person with a special video.

Messi and Inter Miami

Messi did not lead Inter Miami to the playoffs despite his recent arrival.

One day after Inter Miami lost to Cincinnati FC in their final game of the 2023 season, the team was eliminated and unable to climb out of the Eastern Conference basement.

Messi won the Leagues Cup for Miami

Messi's signing was greatly aided by sales of jerseys, tickets, and streaming services.

The seven-time world football player was unable to help Inter Miami's already improbable playoff qualifying run, but he did manage to secure the team's first championship.

Messi led all scorers and was the best player in the competition between teams from the USA and Mexico when Miami defeated Nashville SC in the League Cup final.

Messi out for 4 months?

He scored 11 goals in 14 games overall for Miami, and the team only won one of the seven games without Messi.

Messi and the team will likely travel to China for a promotional tour at the start of November.

After two more international games for Argentina, the superstar is anticipated to take a longer break before getting ready for the start of the new Major League Soccer season in January.

It appears unlikely that he will return to FC Barcelona or Saudi Arabia for the winter.
