Lionel Messi Spotted Casually Grocery Shopping at Publix Thursday

Lionel Messi is among the most famous people in the world, which has to make it incredibly difficult to do normal, everyday things out in public when he’s in Europe or his native Argentina. Soccer fans in the United States are thrilled to have Messi set to play for Inter Miami in the MLS, but his star power isn’t quite the same stateside, which was apparent on Thursday when he and his family were able to go grocery shopping at a local Publix.

Messi was spotted by a number of fans, and stopped to take photos with a few, but it certainly looked like he was happy to be out in the real world. He was definitely thrilled with the bountiful, sugary cereal options that America provides, if his cart is any indication. 

The 36-year-old legend may have an extra pep in his step when he jogs out on the Miami pitch for the first time.

Messi is expected to make his Inter Miami debut on July 21 against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.
