Lionel Messi capped off a big week with a Saturday night out as he attended Maluma’s show at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

On Monday, the Argentinian defeated the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé to win a staggering eighth Ballon d’Or.

And he celebrated the weekend in style with some music from the ‘Chantaje’ singer.

In a video of the concert, Messi could be seen tapping his hand along to Maluma’s performance before waving to some adoring fans nearby.

He appeared to be in a private area before the concert.

At another point in the night, he was photographed outside giving a thumbs up to the camera.

The attacker wore a beige knitted sweater, gray trousers and a gold watch for the occasion.

Messi was back in South Florida after traveling to Paris for the Ballon d’Or ceremony, which took place after the end of the MLS season for Inter Miami.

The Herons did not make the postseason and played their final regular season game on October 21.

He was accompanied at the Ballon d’Or ceremony by his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, and their three sons, Mateo, Thiago and Ciro.

Last year he helped Argentina to a third World Cup victory when he scored seven goals, including two in the final.

He also scored 32 goals in 55 appearances in all competitions for PSG before moving to Inter Miami.

Despite leading the club to its first Leagues Cup trophy, he played only six league games due to injury and international duties with Argentina.
