Lionel Messi saved from a collision on his Audi Q8
Lionel Messi, one of the all-time best players in football, is currently en route to David Beckham’s Inter Miami CF after leading Argentina to the FIFA World Cup title late last year. Messi, who will officially be introduced as an Inter Miami player tomorrow, July 16, 2023, was recently photographed grocery shopping with his family in Miami. The celebrity’s outing, however, could have gone horribly wrong, as the Audi Q8 he was in nearly avoided a collision!
