The moment Lionel Messi stepped foot on the shores of Miami, fans knew they were in for a treat. After embarking on an illustrious career in Europe, Messi took his talents to South Beach. He has proven to be the difference for Inter Miami, scoring goals and creating assists for the team. Furthermore, he seems to be enjoying his time with his new colleagues and getting along well. Offered a multi-million dollar contract, he is expected to spend those riches in a big way. Of course, he owns a private jet to travel around the world. However, he remains humble.
In his latest Instagram story, we see the football star flying economy class with his team, living life in a humble and serious manner. While claims that he wanted a “quieter life” surfaced, Messi seems to be enjoying his time in the MLS. Therefore, this is a new chapter in the life of the World Cup champion.
In the picture, fans can see him wearing the Inter Miami jersey and the famous Beats headphones. He recently gifted these headphones to his teammates and they were delighted. Togetherness is necessary for the team to integrate and develop team chemistry. Therefore, having a luxury jet with him makes it refreshing to see him traveling with his group of brothers. Talking about his jet, he travels in his $15.3 million jet with unique features. Most football players travel in private jets, and Cristiano Ronaldo is another name on the list.
The private jet has his last name on the steps and his famous jersey number, 10, on the tail. The plane was built by an Argentine company and also has a kitchen, two bathrooms and about 16 seats so people can travel comfortably. Chairs can also be folded up and turned into beds. Although he travels on this jet from work to his home country, he does not own the plane, but rents it out.
Overall, he is very happy with his new life in Miami. Likewise, his former Barcelona teammate and coach Xavi revealed that he wanted to go to the MLS instead of joining Barcelona.
Xavi claims his ambition to have a “quieter life”
According to Ge, Xavi said: “Many times we don’t put ourselves in the other’s shoes, we lack empathy. Being Leo Messi is not easy. He is never calm and has to be a ten in everything. He doesn’t want that kind of pressure anymore. It’s normal.” As he said, being a world champion is never easy. Being the best player in the world, the camera follows you everywhere. However, in Miami privacy is much better than in other countries.
Xavi continued: “He wants to lower the level of pressure and tension. He wants a quieter life,” said the Barcelona coach. “ Right now, he loves his life. Eager to win trophies with Inter Miami, Messi seems rejuvenated after his disappointing spell at PSG. Can he win a trophy with the MLS club?
