Lionel Messi took Major League Soccer by storm last year when he decided to join Inter Miami. 

Games quickly sold out, and Messi's Inter Miami jerseys flew off the shelves as fans jumped at the opportunity to see one of the greatest players in the world play in the U.S.

Despite sitting in traffic, Messi apparently signaled that he would be happy to give the fan an autograph. The fan then tossed an Argentina national team jersey toward Messi's passenger side window for the World Cup champion to sign.

Messi busted out a sharpie and signed the jersey as car horns honked. The legend then gave the jersey back to the fan and drove away.

Messi's contract with Inter Miami pays him an estimated $50-$60 million each year, according to numerous reports.
