The 36-year-old, who made his move to Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, has settled into life in Florida going by his numerous outings, the trip for grocery shopping to a local supermarket being the latest.

But one of his outing almost went horribly wrong.

A video circulating on social media showed Messi jumping a red light and narrowly escaping an accident.

In the video, Messi, who is driving an Audi Q8, jumps a red light at a intersection and turns left. But there is traffic from the other side and thankfully Messi slows down in the nick of time and so do the other vehicles coming from the other side.

Messi was escorted by a Florida State Police car.
