Patrick Mahomes was ‘so nervous’ he turned into a silent fan boy when he met Lionel Messi

Patrick Mahomes gave four pieces of advice to Lionel Messi.

The message was so friendly and simple that Mahomes jokingly mocked it when the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback appeared on a popular podcast.

The three-time Super Bowl champion said on Impaulsive with Logan Paul that he was “afraid of Mike Tyson” and gave advice to Jake Paul on how to last with Iron Mike in the ring.

Another highlight of the interview was the Chiefs QB discussing his recent brief encounter with Messi in Kansas City.

“I just met Messi the other day,” Mahomes said proudly.

“I saw the clip,” Logan replied.

While Mahomes regularly hangs out with Taylor Swift and is close friends with Travis Kelce, being in the same hallway as Messi was a whole different level.

“I was so nervous,” Mahomes said.

There was no perfect place or time to meet Messi, who was playing an MLS match for Inter Miami against Sporting Kansas City.

So Mahomes welcomed the World Cup-winning star into the players’ tunnel before kickoff and the iconic duo shared a quick but warm embrace.

“I was hoping it would happen naturally,” Mahomes said. “So I’m walking down the hallway and they’re walking down a narrow hallway.

“He’s going to get heated. I’m like, what are you supposed to say?”

The three-time Super Bowl MVP tried to be friendly and helpful to an athlete he admires.

Mahomes therefore simply advised Messi to “have fun out there.”

“He had a goal and an assist, so I feel like he had a good time,” Mahomes said. “He had fun, yeah, it’s all on me.”

The 28-year-old QB has already been selected to six Pro Bowls and won two NFL MVPs.

Mahomes recently led Kansas City to a thrilling overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, which ended with Kelce kissing Swift on the field.

Swift is a big deal.

But to Mahomes, Messi is an even bigger superstar.
