Lionel Messi just moved to Miami earlier this week and already he’s fitting in. Messi moved to Florida to play for the Inter Miami squad. So far he’s been spotted shopping at Publix, and now he’s in a car that’s ignoring all the traffic laws. I’d say he’s going to fit in just fine here.
In a video posted last night by twitter account 🚨 | Messi went through a red light. 😭Luckily he was being escorted home by a Florida State Police car.

— Messi Tribute (@MessiTribute) July 14, 2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FCB Albiceleste, Messi’s Audi Q8 is seen getting a police escort by Fort Lauderdale police. You can see fans lined up on the road hoping to get a picture. That’s when the car pulls through the red light and merges with speeding oncoming traffic. Oh, and there’s no use of turn signals either. Just 3 days in and already fitting in as a Miami driver.
Now, we can’t say for sure that was Messi that was driving. but reports say he was in the car. Whoever was driving, be it Messi or someone else, I’d say they’re already fitting in with the Florida lifestyle. Someone needs to get him one of those “Florida Local” decals to put on his back windshield.
Welcome to Miami Lionel Messi. We look forward to your formal introduction on Sunday.
All 40 Miami Publix Locations Ranked From First To Worst
I woke up this morning to see Publix was trending. “Now what?” was the first thing that came to mind. But, as it turns out, it wasn’t a bad thing. Lionel Messi just moved to Miami and he was shopping at a Publix, picking up family size boxes of cereal among other things. I couldn’t tell which Miami Publix he was at. But a few people recognized him.
If Messi truly wants to embrace the Florida culture, he needs to pick up Pub Subs for the family. He’ll learn. But that got me thinking. How does someone new to Miami know which Publix to go to? We Floridians know that all Publix are not created equal. Some Miami Publix are much better than others. Sometimes it’s their location. Some stores rank lower because they could really use a remodel. Or, it could be the staff that alters their rank. Whatever you want to point at, it’s a simple fact. It’s not uncommon to go to a Publix that’s further away than your closest Publix because you like that store better.
The Miami Publix Stores Ranked
With the help of Google reviews we’ve come up with a way to rank the stores here in Miami. I counted 40, I’m sure someone will let me know if I missed one. Also, if you recognize which store Messi was at, let me know.
Floridians are passionate about Publix, and even if you say you never shop there, you have. We all have. Where else are you going to get a chicken tender sub buffalo style shaken? In the picture above, you can see in Messi’s cart that he has family size boxes of cereal. Are they BOGO this week? We’ll need to teach him about that, too. So from best to worst, here’s how the Miami stores ranked.
