Last week, the news of Lionel Messi’s presence during Super Bowl LIX brightened up Patrick Mahomes’ eyes. The World Cup winner kept his promise by showing up on Sunday a couple of hours before kickoff at the New Orleans Caesars Superdome wearing casuals.
Usually, the 37-year-old soccer superstar dresses up for the occasion, but his casual attire caught the attention of fans. It’s easy to overlook him in the joggers if he wasn’t famous.
Anyway, true Messi-bloods were ecstatic to see the ex-Barcelona wizard attending the important Super Bowl LIX fixture between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fans rave about Lionel Messi’s fashion sense at Super Bowl LIX
According to Forbes, Lionel Messi’s net worth in 2025 is around $600 million, and he earns $75 million a year from his salary at Major League Soccer club Inter Miami FC and various other sponsorships and brand endorsements. Wealthy Gorilla reported Messi is currently the 10th highest-earning sports player of all time.
With all the wealth under his belt, Messi can afford to dress bougie for the Super Bowl. However, he chose to go with a more casual look. It was reminiscent of his old Barcelona days when he would show up wearing Adidas tracksuits to practice and sometimes on game days. Of course, Internet had their say on this.
