At Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres concert in Miami on July 27, 2025, football legend Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were shown on the venue’s Kiss Cam, creating a viral moment that quickly spread across social media.
In the video, the couple appears standing side by side in what seems to be a suite or reserved section. Messi smiles and raises his hand in a brief wave, while Antonela, smiling beside him.
The two do not kiss or interact further with the camera.
As they appear onscreen, the stadium erupts in chants of “Messi! Messi! Messi!”, momentarily shifting the atmosphere from concert to sporting event.
Shortly thereafter, a band member addressed them with a sing-song compliment:
“Oh, Leo, my beautiful brother. You and your wife are looking so fine. Thank you for coming today to see our band play. The number one sportsperson of all time.”

The couple’s poised appearance drew attention for its simplicity and impact.
It marked one of the most talked-about moments of the night, blending global sports celebrity with a major live music event.
Notably, Messi’s appearance at the show came during a match absence resulting from an MLS-imposed one-game suspension, following his decision to skip the All-Star Game earlier that week.
The brief break from the pitch allowed for this unexpected but warmly received public outing, one that reminded fans how powerfully his presence resonates, even outside the stadium.
