WATCH THE CLIP

<p>The final whistle rarely brings an end to the action for Messi, as he usually has to contend with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trophy-mls-stars-react-lionel-messi-shirt-swaps-inter-miami-12-jerseys/blt1620ad852a023e45" target="_blank">rivals desperate to swap shirts</a>. Occasionally he also finds himself <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/world-champions-unite-lionel-messi-ufc-ilia-topuria-starstruck-el-matador-mls-inter-miami/bltf335f14d25447592" target="_blank">face-to-face with adoring fans</a> that are happy to break the law by entering the field of play.</p>

He is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/will-lionel-messi-start-inter-miami-monterrey-tata-martino-reveals-selection-plan-concacaf-champions-league/bltd1fe3cd4a6d8e380" target="_blank">expected to be back in Inter Miami’s starting XI on Wednesday</a> when they take in the second leg of a CONCACAF Champions Cup clash with Mexican side Monterrey.</p>
