But in Inter Miami’s first competitive match of 2025, Messi braved the freezing temperatures of Kansas City in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Ditching the usual Florida sunshine, the Argentine icon was spotted wearing gloves in freezing weather.
Despite the icy conditions, Messi was unfazed, delivering a stunning match-winner just ten minutes into the second half.
His performance proved that even in the cold, he remains a class above the rest.
