For his first tenure in MLS with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi had a complicated evening.
Irresistible since his arrival at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi had a first hitch on Wednesday against Nashville. Ten days after the success snatched from penalties in the final of the Leagues Cup against the Tennessee franchise (1-1, 10 tab 9), Inter Miami had to settle for a draw (0- 0). Until then, the Florida franchise had won all of its matches with the seven-time Ballon d’Or.
These victories owed a lot to the Argentine playmaker, author of 11 goals in 10 matches or two assists against Cincinnati in the Cup. But this time, the Argentinian did not find the fault and this despite numerous attempts like this ride in the defense of Nashville in added time. A situation that seemed to annoy the native of Rosario.
Lionel Messi indeed split with a gesture of humor against Jack Maher, whose marking was too tight for his taste. A gesture of humor accompanied by an insult. “La concha de tu madre”, he threw at her. And the former Parisian could be all the more frustrated as this sharing of points constitutes a bad operation in the race for the playoffs. Penultimate in the Eastern Conference, Inter Miami still accuses ten points of disbursements on the dams for the playoffs.

And the Florida camp may be all the more worried that Inter Miami will have to do without Lionel Messi and the other internationals for the next three matches played during the international window.
