Unlike football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, Lionel Messi had elite security measures when it came to his house. No planes could fly over Messi's house, which seems to be a very specific demand to keep his private life secure. During his time at FC Barcelona, the president of an airline called Valeng stated that a Barcelona airport prevented planes from flying over Messi's house. His home in Barcelona was located close to a natural service that protects several species of animals. Planes were prevented from flying around the area since the noise could disturb the animals and the president of the airlines at the Barcelona airport told their pilots to take a different route instead of getting near Messi's house.

Messi's house in Miami is close to the home stadium, the Chase Stadium, which is beneficial to him for training and meetings at the facilities. The home has nine rooms, a pool, a gym, and more. The airport in Miami is called the "Miami International Airport", and it is 40 minutes away from the Chase Stadium. The Argentine player does not have to worry about planes flying over the house, but the situation in Barcelona was not a request he made.
