Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami has sent shockwaves throughout the MLS. Arguably the greatest footballer on the planet has blasted David Beckham’s football club’s business into another stratosphere and every person is dying to get a glimpse of the 36-year-old. Salamanca, who was at Inter Miami for the first time ever, was lucky enough and managed to get an autograph at the expense of his job.
Speaking to La Nacion, Salamanca said: “I had to clean the bathrooms in the area where the buses park. Fortunately, I was out there when the bus arrived and all the players got out. The last one was Messi. It was enough to yell at him: ‘Hey, world champion’ that he turned to look.
I lifted up my uniform shirt and I had the Argentina shirt underneath and a marker. He gave me his autograph. Security came right away, they took me out and fired me from my job, but it was worth every second.”
