Soccer fans in San Jose congregated outside Inter Miami’s team hotel this week to catch a glimpse of legendary star Lionel Messi, and the Argentine World Cup champion did not disappoint. Messi waved to fans from his hotel balcony before jumping on a bus for training sessions this week in Northern California.

The scoreline, after which Miami committed a myriad of glaring defensive mistakes, further aggravated the Argentina World Cup winner.

Excitement is building on the West Coast as soccer superstar Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami squad is set to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night.
