LIONEL MESSI posted a gushing message to Inter Miami after the final game of the season.
Meanwhile, his wife went out for a girls lunch with none other than Victoria Beckham.
Messi, 36, joined the MLS side this summer following his release from Paris Saint-Germain.
And in the three months since his July arrival on a two-and-a-half-year contract in Florida, Messi has inspired the club owned by David Beckham.
The Argentine superstar scored an injury-time free-kick winner on his debut and then led the team to their first ever trophy, the Leagues Cup.
In total he has 11 goals in 14 Inter Miami appearances and is unsurprisingly incredibly popular at the DRV PNK Stadium as his first season comes to an end.

And he headed to Instagram with a classy message.
Messi wrote to his 489million followers: “Proud of all the team accomplished this season.
“With the work and effort of everyone, we were able to win the @leaguescup clinching the first title in @opencup history, we made it to the finals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. @mls and were even fighting to get into the @intermiamicf, play-offs almost until the very last moment.
“We stayed with all the good things and above all the desire to improve to be even more competitive next year.

“I would like to thank all the people of the club and the city of Miami for the support they always give us.
“I’m sure we’ll continue to have amazing moments together as we have in the past few months.
“A hug for everyone!”
But after Inter Miami missed out on the play-offs, Messi could head out on loan briefly when the winter transfer window reopens.
An emotional return to Barcelona could be on the cards while a Saudi side could try and lure the World Cup winner to the Middle East on a temporary deal before the 2024 MLS season gets underway in late February.
While Messi and Co were in North Carolina to face Charlotte in their final MLS game of the season, his wife headed to her all-star lunch.
Antonela Roccuzzo posed for photos with Victoria at their classy trip out in Miami.
Antonela opted for a black number revealing her stomach while Posh Spice stunned in a full-length white dress and black heels.
The glamorous pair, previously spotted together at Inter Miami matches, joined their mutual friend Isabela Grutman for the release of her new fashion range.
