Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi has revealed his strange habits and favorite foods that are not what people usually think of a professional player.

The 36-year-old Argentine star, considered one of the best players in world football, arrived at the southern Florida side on a free transfer after two seasons with renowned Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain .

Less than two months after his first match for Inter Miami Club , Messi has scored 11 goals and 5 assists in 3 different tournaments. His partner Antonela Rocuzzo and their three children – Theo, Matteo and Ciro – recently moved into a new beachfront apartment in Miami.

In an interview with TN30, the seven-time Golden Ball winner revealed many topics off the field. Messi did not hesitate to share his schedule in the evening: “Before going to bed, I arrange the dining table for the next day. I don’t want to take too much time for breakfast. Every member has their own place.” We always sit and eat together at the table.”

The Argentinian legend likes to keep the dinner table clean but he surprisingly revealed that his diet is not always healthy food. Messi talked about his passion for sweet foods, unlike Ronaldo who never eats: “I am very simple when it comes to meals with asado (Argentine-style grilled meat), milanesa (beef balls). wrapped in dough), spaghetti, chocolate, sweet cream,…

I like everything that tastes sweet, I indulge in it. I try to eat little but I like to eat often. In fact, my meals are sometimes not as healthy as a professional footballer’s regime like people often think.”

Lionel Messi has had an impressive first two months on the pitch for Inter Miami. The 2022 FIFA World Cup finalist introduced himself with a stunning 94th-minute free-kick against Cruz Azul, helping the Herons to a 2-1 win in the Leagues Cup group stage.

Messi then scored in each of his next four games, with a total of nine goals and one assist, as Miami won their first league title, meaning the club had its first title in its short history .

The Argentine went a goalless one-off at the US Open Cup, where he provided two assists and converted a penalty in the shootout that sent Miami to the final. The Barcelona legend then scored on his much-anticipated MLS debut, ending Inter Miami’s 11-game losing streak and lifting them off the bottom of the Eastern Conference .

Messi also had two more assists in the next two matches. Messi’s excellence on the field since joining Inter Miami is truly impressive. However, in the most recent match in which Messi did not play due to fatigue after the international break , Miami lost miserably to Atlanta United 2-5.
