Lionel Messi, his wife, and three sons attended Coldplay's Music of the Spheres concert at Hard Rock Stadium on the evening of 27/7, according to Athlon Sports. The audience applauded and called out the soccer star's name when the couple appeared on the Kiss Cam. They smiled and waved to the camera amidst the cheers.
The video of Messi and his wife is being widely shared online, attracting hundreds of thousands of views. One reason for its popularity is that social media users recalled the Kiss Cam incident that revealed the affair of two Astronomer company executives at a Coldplay concert on 16/7. The scandal caused a global stir for nearly two weeks, leading to the resignation of both individuals.
Many social media users referenced the scandal under posts about Messi, leaving humorous comments. On X, some wrote: "Before reading the caption, I thought Messi was also caught having an affair", "I was hoping they would reenact the Astronomer CEOs' scene", "I have to go to a Coldplay concert. You never know what's going to happen or who's going to be there".
On the same day, the soccer player and his wife posted photos from the concert on Instagram. The post received over 1.5 million likes within an hour of being shared. Most of the comments praised the couple's happiness, stating they were their ideal couple. Similarly, on X, many joked about his appearance at the Coldplay concert.
