Football legend Lionel Messi has a fan following that spans the globe. His presence, whether on the pitch or off, is enough to make fans’ hearts race. Recently, Messi stepped away from football for a night of music where he attended a Coldplay concert in Miami in July. It created quite a stir among concertgoers.
The event turned into a magical evening for the superstar and his family. He was spotted at the concert with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and their three sons to enjoy the fun-filled night under the stars. But it wasn’t just the music that had people talking, the moment he appeared on the stadium’s giant jumbotron made fans erupt in excitement. A video shared online captures one fan’s unforgettable reaction to spotting Messi on the big
screen.
‘Almost Passing Out Over Messi’
In the clip, the fan screams in excitement, visibly emotional, as Messi waves with Antonela by his side. The overlay text on the video reads, “My Argentinian almost passing out seeing Messi at the Coldplay concert.”

Internet Can’t Keep Calm
The video gained significant attention and social media users couldn’t hold back their thoughts at the moment.
One user commented, “The fan probably forgot how to breathe for a solid 10 seconds.”
Another said, “Looked like a 10-year-old seeing his hero,” while someone else added, “It is like watching God himself.”
Others remarks included “The concert was so worth it for him” and “This is so cute.”
A Deja Vu From Coldplay
While Messi’s appearance brought joy to fans in Miami, Coldplay concerts have previously made headlines for unexpected moments. Back in July, Andy Byron, the former CEO of tech company Astronomer, became an internet sensation after a viral clip from Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts surfaced online. In the video, Byron, 51, and Kristin Cabot, 52, the company’s Chief People Officer, were caught on the jumbotron locking arms during the band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour.
The duo looked startled and ducked out of view which sparked speculation of an affair. Chris Martin, Coldplay’s lead singer, even joked about the scene, saying, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” The video started making rounds on social media with memes poking fun at the awkward moment.
