Soccer legend and Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi was in Kansas City Wednesday night for leg one of the CONCACAF Champions Cup series vs. Sporting K.C.—and let's just say he wasn't playing in the balmy south Florida temperatures he's used to.
According to Apple Weather, temperatures in Kansas City felt like -9 degrees as of 9:30 p.m. ET, yet both teams were out on the pitch and local fans, eager to see the soccer icon do his thing, were in the stands. Videos of Messi both before and during the contest illustrate just how cold both he and his teammates surely were, as well as the severity of conditions in the area at the minute.
