MIAMI (Web Desk) - The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Argentine star footballer Lionel Messi has been trying to get settled in Miami ahead of his anticipated debut for the MLS outfit.

Reports said that the football icon was pictured grocery shopping with wife Antonela and his three sons.

But as people began to recognise him, Messi decided to make a swift getaway. A video doing rounds on social media shows him asking Antonela for the car keys before heading to the car park to evade the cameras.

Messi is about to open another page of his illustrious football career after he recently completed his much-anticipated move to Inter Miami.
