Kapanlagi.com - There was no special treatment at the United States airport, even for a Lionel Messi. Ahead of the round of 32 match in the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine megastar still had to undergo security checks like other passengers.
The moment immediately caught public attention after a video showing Messi with the entire Argentine squad being inspected by officials at Miami International Airport circulated widely on social media. Instead of appearing upset, Messi reacted to the situation calmly while laughing with his teammates.
The video quickly went viral and sparked various comments from football fans around the world.

Several fans from the United States managed to capture the presence of the Argentine national team at Miami International Airport before they headed to their Round of 32 match against Cape Verde.
In the circulating video, all Argentine players appear to undergo thorough security checks. Messi, who is now 39 years old and still holds the record as Argentina's all-time top scorer, is seen calmly following all the procedures. He even seems to be laughing and joking with his teammates during the security check process.
The reposting of the video quickly went viral on platform X and has garnered nearly five million views. This number does not include various other posts from fans sharing similar videos through their respective accounts.
The United States is indeed known for having very strict airport security standards. Therefore, world-class players like Messi have likely experienced similar procedures multiple times, both throughout their careers and during the 2026 World Cup.

Beyond the viral nature of the video, Messi's main focus remains on leading Argentina as far as possible in the 2026 World Cup.
In the last five editions of the World Cup, Argentina has been one of the most consistent teams alongside France. After France secured their place in the Round of 16 with a convincing performance, it is now La Albiceleste's turn to try to follow suit.
Cape Verde has indeed surprised by reaching the Round of 32. However, Argentina's attacking line is believed to be ready to test their defense, even when some strong teams like Spain have struggled to break through.
In addition to hunting for tickets to the next round, Messi is also in a tight competition for the top scorer title of the 2026 World Cup.
Currently, the Argentina captain has scored six goals, the same number as Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. The difference is, Messi has one match less than his two rivals, so the chance to lead the goal scorer list is still very open.
There is no room for error anymore. Argentina fully understands the challenges ahead if they want to repeat their success in 2022 and become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to retain the World Cup title.
