WHAT HAPPENED? The Argentine made a high profile move from Europe to Miami in mid-July, becoming one of the biggest signings in MLS history. After starting his American career with nine goals in six games, Messi admitted that he's found it easy to adapt to life in Miami.

WHAT THEY SAID: “People in this city and this club have made it easy for us," Messi said at a press conference. "The fans, the people that I meet every day on the streets in the city we are now, it’s a spectacular city, and that’s why I can live with happiness.

"We are in that adaptation period, the kids are going to school soon, and that will help to get to the end of that adjustment, and get used to daily life. It’s only a small period to complete the adaptation, but it’s been much easier than we thought."
