World’s most beautiful referee welcomes Lionel Messi to Inter Miami with hot photo

The female referee gave up a modelling career to become a referee, but she still can't avoid participating in a humorous photo shoot.

Before deciding a life calling the shots on the pitch was more for her than one sitting for photographs, Romani had previously modelled for publications such as Playboy, GQ, and Cosmopolitan.

After giving up a modelling career in 2014 to become a full-time official, the Italian beauty is renowned as the "World's Hottest Referee."

Her most recent photo shoot was motivated by the upcoming visit of the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner to Inter Miami.

Romani is one person who has a special likeness for the World Cup winner. She posted several pictures of herself posing in a scanty swimsuit while holding a towel and shirt from Inter Miami.

Romani wore simply a short pair of jeans and an Inter Miami blouse that looked smart and added a caption saying, “So happy for great soccer heading this way.”

Messi is said to be introduced by David Beckham's team Inter Miami, according to reports from Daily Star. 

He has already been seen stocking his cart with as much sweet cereal as he can find in a nearby Publix.

Romani, who has 1.3 million followers, has probably disqualified herself from managing any matches involving the Argentine magician.

But, given that the Italian beauty's qualifications were for Serie A and Serie B, she might not be eligible to officiate in the MLS in any case.

According to Daily Star, Romani's refereeing career has probably been put on hold for the time being given the calibre of her work and the fact that she isn't shy about mentioning her favourite teams.

She was recently accused of being maybe biased towards teams she likes after being seen wearing an AC Milan jersey.
