Colombian Cristian Salamanca has revealed how he was sacked from the company responsible for cleaning Inter's Miami stadium.
"I had to clean the bathrooms in the sector where the buses are parked. Luckily I was there when the bus arrived and all the players got off. The last one out was Messi. It was enough to shout to him "Hey, world champion!" for him to turn round to look. I pulled up my uniform, and I had an Argentine team jersey and a marker underneath. Lionel gave me an autograph. Security came straight away and they took me away and dismissed me from my job, but it was worth every second," Salamanca said.
It was his first day on the job. Employees were warned that they were not allowed to sign autographs or take pictures with football players during their shifts.
