You: Messi is just like us! He shops at Publix!
Me, an intellectual: Publix is literally an Inter Miami corporate sponsor. They have an Inter Miami sub there.
He showed up to training today in... you guessed it... an Audi. His every movement will be monetized by MLS and Inter.

Not exaggerating here - this goal, by Pablo Ruiz, is one of the best long-distance efforts in MLS history, if we're talking 50+ yards. It honestly might be the best, given the angle, fact that he hits it on the fly, upper 90 more or less. Just ridiculous.
