Patrick Mahomes and Lionel Messi are two legends in the history of sports. The quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs has won the Super Bowl three times, while the Argentine player reached the pinnacle of his career by lifting the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

Undoubtedly, in their respective disciplines, both are in the debate to be the best of all time. In Mahomes’ case, his pursuit is trying to catch up to Tom Brady. Leo is already in the top tier with Pele and Diego Armando Maradona.

During an MLS match between Inter Miami and Sporting Kansas City, the NFL star welcomed Messi to his ‘home’, and as expected, the moment became a trending topic on social media.
