Leo’s time at Inter Miami: How Messi respects people’s lives when he meets them

At Miami Beach’s Cafe Prima Pasta, disco music and subdued red lighting instantly create a mood Although Lionel Messi had visited Prima Pasta before—more than ten years ago—his most memorable viral event since coming to the United States occurred during his most recent visit on July 13, last year.

Prima Pasta was already a local staple in Miami, but it has since been known as Messi’s go-to restaurant in the city, according to a report by The Athletic.

Apart from that, a barber who lived there also had good luck after seeing Messi. 

According to the story, a muralist who travels the world drew inspiration from Messi’s World Cup victory to create a highly appreciated work of art.

When Messi and his family dined nearby at Prima Pasta in July, it garnered international notice as customers tried to keep things regular.

That evening, Angelo Acción, 30, a barman, told The Athletic, “Messi just strolled in through the front door.” “

The patrons here were initially unaware that he had entered. Many of the patrons waited for him out back as soon as they saw him.”

The 57-year-old owner of Prima Pasta, Cea, disclosed that he had guitars signed by famous artists including Eric Clapton, Lenny Kravitz, and René Pérez, better known as Residente.

Cea also possesses a guitar signed by the late Gustavo Cerati, an Argentine rock singer who was a frequent visitor at Prima Pasta prior to his passing in 2014. 

According to the claim, Cea has become friends with the Messi family and now possesses a Gibson guitar signed by No. 10 of Inter Miami.

“Leo is always very cool,” Cea said to The Athletic. “His family has been visiting for the past 12 years, but this was only his third visit.” He’s usually grinning and seems so at ease.

Never an issue. 

Simply said, an awesome individual.”

Messi’s favourite food, according to Cea, is agnolotti Rosso, which is loaded pasta with ricotta cheese and spinach in a pink sauce.

Luis Andrés Rivera, a Miami-based Puerto Rican businessman, goes by the handle El Bori Barber on social media. 

When he started serving as Messi’s personal barber last summer, his life changed.

Situated in Wynwood, Rivera’s Destiny Barber Studio is a clean and modern establishment with three black leather barber seats and a carefully curated mix of salsa music to add to the overall atmosphere. 

Rivera won’t talk about his experiences, citing the confidentiality agreement he signed with Messi’s organization.

Rivera has had a lot of inquiries from the media since he posted a picture of himself with Messi on Instagram in August of last year, but he has had to turn them all down. 

He holds out the messages he sent and received on WhatsApp with Messi with pride, but he soon puts his phone down and says he can talk about anything other than that.

Rivera, 29, is a native of Patillas, a coastal hamlet in southeast Puerto Rico. 

Patillas is a beach town located within the city of San Juan.

“Bro, Miami is my life,” declares Rivera. 

“I came here with modest expectations but lofty goals in mind. Miami demonstrates to you that life is full of possibilities. 

In Miami, there are no restrictions. I arrived here knowing nothing about my famous clientele. 

Here is where I located them. Have faith in yourself if you work hard and are disciplined here. Everything revolves around Miami.”

Like Rivera, Maximiliano Bagnasco’s July 2023 experience with Messi will never be forgotten. 

Argentina’s Bagnasco, 42, is well known for painting the most well-known Messi mural in South Florida.

One of the first famous people to observe the Messi mural in Bagnasco was David Beckham, who co-owns Inter Miami. 

When he stepped into Bagnasco’s crane for a Messi moment that went viral, the former Manchester United player created headlines of his own.

Around the world, Bagnasco has created several murals featuring Messi and Maradona. 

The Wynwood mural’s idea originated from a partnership between Bagnasco and the building’s owner, renowned Miami developer Gustavo Miculitzki, a 67-year-old Argentinean connected to Block Capital Group.

“Gustavo came up with the idea,” Bragnasco said to The Athletic. “He wanted it to say ‘Welcome to Miami.'” “Wynwood” was added. 

Gustavo said Messi should be grinning. We chose this design even though I had proposed a different one. It was about seeing Messi with Inter Miami and embracing him. 

Messi is the global champion here. That is the Messi that everyone adores and that we currently have.”

It’s getting more and more normal to see Messi in Miami, whether he’s seen drinking maté at a neighborhood coffee shop, celebrating his oldest son Thiago’s birthday, or attending a friend’s U-12 academy team game.

As Miculitzki put it, “It’s been so impressive. 

We’ve been here for more than 20 years.” We are aware of Leo’s intentions and his ability to inspire people, both football fans and otherwise. 

It has been demonstrated. Messi has a global audience. It’s amazing. To truly comprehend anything, you must live it.”
