The scene is ultimately quite rare when it comes to Lionel Messi, but in the night from Saturday to Sunday, the captain of Inter Miami failed to contain himself. After his team conceded a draw at New York City (2-2), the Argentinian came to complain to the referee. Unhappy with the expulsion of his teammate, Tomas Aviles, from the 23rd minute of play, Messi said the bottom of his thought to the man in black.
And the octuple winner of the Ballon d'Or was obviously large on the potato. For several tens of seconds, he came to hold the spittoon to Mr. Mendoza. On several occasions, and before the vehemence of his interlocutor, the referee asked him to leave. Lionel Messi does not comply, the yellow card was released against him.

Enough to calm the former Paris Saint-Germain very temporarily who then headed for one of Mr. Mendoza's assistants to continue his explanatory requests. New discussion, Lionel Messi hand on the back of the official's neck and returned to the locker room. A first game of the season at the very least tense, even if on the sporting level, “La Pulga” still offered two assists on the two goals of Inter Miami.
At thirty-seven years, Lionel Messi hopes to do better than last season with his family. In 2024, Miami had reached the Plays-Offs but had been released in the first round by Atlanta United. A real thunderclap as the Inter team had been impressive throughout the season.
