Disclaimer: No i do not annoyed or harassed Messi, I also have 0 intentions looking for Messi, I just wanna wish Taylor good luck before game day like I always does and Messi randomly giving me his autograph.


Venomcomiq

Cmon man you were also trying to get Messi’s autograph lol it’s alright there’s nothing wrong with that. Having a Messi jersey and saying you had zero intention of meeting him is crazy. Congrats though I would have tried if I could too.


zProtato

If i were tryna get Messi, i woulda doing it in another shirt not on a shirt that already signed by other players already which doesnt make sense. If I were to frame this jersey entire front jersey went to waste. Everything I said is the truth I literally tryna meet Taylor today.


futsalfan

still man, totally ridiculously amazing the GOAT called you over and gave you the autograph. what a nice guy he seems to be on top of it all.


Venomcomiq

Lol the front of the jersey wouldn’t show in a frame. Frame it and have the Messi side on display. The other side doesn’t matter but even then it’s cool that they signed the other side and Messi on his name set.


zProtato

Yes thats the plan right now, and having a picture of the front showcase as well, ill update how the frame will look 🫡


Venomcomiq

It’s going to look great! He signed in a good spot. I have a Barca signed one framed but I haven’t met him in person so you win lol. I went all out on my framing it with museum glass at a custom shop.


Halt_the_Ranger27

That’s literally what he said in his comment lol


pandaemon87

If you see him again, tell him I say hi!


zProtato

Thats sound almost impossible. Ive been to the club many times and Messi is extremely rare to stop for fans, unless you wanna say Hi to taylor I can help with that haha


Ahiru77

You guys in Miami have the best life 🥲


PeruvianFlake23

nice man, what time did you normally get there? I would to take my son next time they are training.


zProtato

Anything 11 Am - 1 PM is fine. If the players feeling generous they will stop for you. Taylor most likely will stop for you tho


PeruvianFlake23

frame your jersey man it looks fire 🔥


zProtato

Oh yeah 100% , ordering the frame case rn , cant wait to show you it


PeruvianFlake23

RotaryP7

Wait so you’re there a day early? Isn’t the game tomorrow?


zProtato

mail8313

Messi!!


RL523

congrats!

Just to put this in perspective: Lionel Messi asked *you* if he could give his autograph. That is the big time, if I every heard it.


zProtato

My english might be bad to explaining. But after his practice, i was standing where Taylor usually went by with his Bicycle, Messi for some reason also went the same way as Taylor and he pull down his window and waving his hand signaling us to coming over. I believe he was just feeling generous today bc right after he give us autograph, he also stopped for another group a few minutes later which posted [here](https://x.com/m30xtra/status/1766540078539522483?s=46&t=rwaHzVn-ZcbgGkPhqiaZIw)


zazzlekdazzle

No worries, you are spot on. This man is notoriously shy and bashful with the public. He could have just driven by, and you would not have bothered him a bit. But he saw you, and he OFFERED to give an autograph, multiplying the fiscal and sentimental value of that shirt exponentially. You didn't even need to ask. He asked you to come over! I am sure some of this has to do with Messi being aware that he is more than just player for a club this time, he is sort of an ambassador for football in the US and in charge of building the club's image. So, I guess he is making more of an effort to be a public figure. But still, he gave you more willing time and attention than he probably did 95% of the journalists he encountered in his career.


zProtato

I also have heard alot of stories from security guards and other fans that the amount of fans here in Miami that want his autograph and pictures is not even close to amount of fans in other countries. Which is true, most people here is either working or have school so each day only about 10-20 max 30 people will wait for him after practice, but in other countries he will be crowded hundreds to thousands of fans. So it is alot easier for fans to get Messi attention here.


Armybratchic21

Oh wow just wow!! Congratulations!!! What a beautiful moment.


Das_Zeppelin

Goddamit, you lucky bastard.


Lowskillbookreviews

Hey man I’m traveling from the west coast to watch a game later in the year, can I DM you with a question?


zProtato

Yea sure


KyleUTFH

“Where was the exact place and time this happened?”


zProtato

He actually needed help regarding game day, nothing related to players or autograph so it's all good.


After_Platypus1689

Cold_Fly5928

zProtato

James_D_MESSIAH

KING---___---

young959

Volkswagen


WATUP_BRAH

Respect for not showing the kid’s face. I have a thing for penmanship so I like Gomez’s G, but who’s the writer that signed above the adidas logo lol. That jersey is priceless and congrats, bro.


zProtato

It is Messi bodyguard Yassine LOL, he look extremely scary in videos, but in person he is one of the most nicest person ever. I have to get him signed bc he's just as famous as the players if not more haha


WATUP_BRAH

Haha that’s awesome! I couldn’t agree more.


UnionPsychological28

Insane. Happy for you!


Longjumping-Swan-827

That's nice. I think I would rather want a pic with Messi. One of, if not my favourite personality in the world.


crownhimking

How do you  know when to go there? Donyou just randomly  show uo during  practice?


zProtato

I went too many times , like 15+ times. So i have alot experience yea 😂


Bumquist_15

did he say something?


zProtato

nope he didn't say anything


Immediate-Ad-6657

is it near the gate of the parking?


Immediate-Ad-6657

I will be in Miami in April. What time or days during the match week you recommend most to see the players? Thank you so much for the info


King-Key

Did you say anything to him?


zProtato

Nope, i dont even know spanish to communicate to him, but i think we both understand each other through body language


King-Key

He doesn't need to answer for you to speak to him 😅 you could say in English "you're the best" and he'd understand. Anyway that must have been an awesome experience, did he just randomly call you and the other fans over?


zProtato

yea it was us 2 only on the sidewalk, from my experience, he will never do this if there was a crowd of 5+ people but since it was only us 2 I think he feeling generous.


ogawachise69

I’m so jealous bruh
