Even Lionel Messi has to go through security. When the Argentina squad arrived in Miami, the Albiceleste star was checked with a metal detector, just like any other player at the World Cup.
It was a pretty rare scene, of course, considering it involved one of the greatest players in history. But Messi took it with a smile. Clearly amused, the Argentine laughed during the check and showed no sign of annoyance.
Messi Checked Like Everyone Else
Argentina already know Miami well at this World Cup. The reigning world champions played their opening match there before travelling to Texas and then Kansas City. They are now set to return to Florida on Saturday for their round-of-32 clash against Cape Verde.
On arrival, Messi therefore received no special treatment. A standard check, metal detector, mandatory procedure: even the GOAT has to follow the security protocol.
The clip quickly amused fans, especially because of Messi’s laughing reaction. A light-hearted but symbolic image: at this World Cup, nobody gets a free pass. Not even Lionel Messi.

À la Coupe du Monde, les joueurs sont fouillés avant d’entrer sur le territoire des USA… et Lionel Messi aussi a droit au détecteur. 😅
Personne n’a de passe-droit, même le GOAT. 🐐 pic.twitter.com/7XRGf5kEao
