Soccer legend Lionel Messi was seen enjoying Coldplay’s concert at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Sunday night. The concert was the final U.S. stop of the band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Fans quickly noticed the Inter Miami CF star in the crowd. Chants of “Messi! Messi! Messi!” filled the stadium, creating a scene that felt more like a soccer final than a music show.
Messi attended the concert with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and their children. He had the night off after being suspended for missing the MLS All-Star Game, giving him a rare chance to relax.
This isn’t Messi’s first Coldplay concert. He also saw the band perform in Barcelona in 2023. The 38-year-old has shown a strong interest in attending big entertainment events since joining Major League Soccer last year. He has been spotted at Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Shakira concerts, as well as NBA games and the Super Bowl.
Adding to the occasion, Coldplay shared the stage with Argentine pop star Tini, who is dating Messi’s national team teammate Rodrigo De Paul. Tini’s version of Coldplay’s “WE PRAY” has gained over 35 million views on YouTube. Her performance in Miami was another highlight of the night.
Unlike a recent viral concert controversy involving corporate executives, Messi’s appearance was purely positive, drawing cheers rather than criticism. For fans of both football and music, it was a night to remember.
