Messi previously wowed the crowd, including David Beckham, by scoring a last-minute free-kick on his debut to beat Cruz Azul.

Fans showed their adoration for Messi and packed out the DRVPNK stadium for the visit of Atlanta to catch a glimpse of the 36-year-old.

But it seems Messi was the sole reason many attended, as the stadium quickly emptied following his substitution after 77 minutes.

Footage showed thousands of fans all heading for the exit with the three points already wrapped up.

Inter Miami won 4-0 to make it two out of two wins since Messi’s arrival.

One fan left his seat and invaded the pitch in an attempt to greet Messi as he headed for the dugout.

Security intervened to prevent the supporter from achieving his goal of taking a selfie with the World Cup winner.

Messi has had an eventful start to life at Inter Miami as even his unveiling was overshadowed by thunderstorms.
