Messi left PSG in the summer, and he has since moved stateside to link up with David Beckham's MLS side Inter Miami.
The 36-year-old has returned to action in recent weeks - and he walked out with a very special mascot ahead of Inter Miami's game against the LA Galaxy on Sunday night. Messi took to the pitch with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's son, Saint, as his mascot.
It ended in a 1-1 draw, with Messi rescuing a point for Miami in the 92nd minute of the clash, with LA Galaxy down to 10-men.
