Seeing Lionel Messi closely is the dream of many fans around the world. Some are ready to do anything to touch or simply meet the gaze of Argentinian genius. But when obsession exceeds the limits, the situation can quickly become chaotic. This is exactly what happened recently in Miami, in a barely believable scene that defies all logical.

A fan ready for anything for Messi

The facts date back to May 25, during a youth tournament at the Inter Miami stadium, where Lionel Messi came to observe his sons playing. While everything seemed to be peacefully unfolding, a teenager suddenly decided to get to the Argentine star, triggering a real panic among the security agents. Immediately intercepted by the star's bodyguards, the young man experienced a completely unexpected mishap.

Indeed, not only has the fan was immobilized by the security guards, but he then decided … to call the police! A totally improbable reaction that has left everyone, including the police, in total misunderstanding. A camera embedded on one of the police officers reveals a surreal scene: “My brother, you run after Messi, are you arrested, and do you call the police?” Frankly, guy… ”, declares, amazed, the officer present on the spot.

When the obsession for Messi turns to ridicule

An incomprehensible reaction to the police

The 18 -year -old seemed surprised that his attempt to approach the Argentinian champion had such consequences. He told the police “Not having imagined that such a thing can happen”before the officer reminded him with irony: “You know the videos on the internet, you know how it goes. »»

Despite his complaints of painted and neck pain, the teenager refused to be transported to the hospital and was finally escorted out of the stadium, leaving behind his cap and his glasses. A mishap which he will certainly not forget as soon as the absurdity of the situation will remain engraved in the memories.

Messi madness has its climax

This incident perfectly illustrates the madness that surrounds Lionel Messi with each public outing. The Inter Miami star continues to attract an unprecedented fervor to 37 years old, and fans' intrusions become commonplace in its trips. Despite his discretion and his desire to preserve his private life, the Argentinian remains a permanent target of the most passionate admirers.

A few days before the World Cup 2025 clubs, where Messi hopes to win a new major title, this incident is a brutal reminder of the difficulties posed by its extreme popularity in terms of safety and management of crowds.

Messi, an uncontrollable phenomenon?

The event, now managed by the authorities of the Florida stadium, will undoubtedly be used as a lesson for the next overly enterprising admirers. But one thing is certain: as long as the pulga treads the lawns, similar scenes are still likely to happen. For the Argentine star, the challenge remains to learn to compose with this disproportionate and sometimes uncontrollable love of the public.
