It is an evening to forget for Lionel Messi and his teammates. Opposed Sunday at Seattle Sounders in the League Cup final, which he won in 2023, Inter Miami lost heavily (0-3) despite the presence of all his stars.
Javier Mascherano's players were trapped before half an hour of play by Osaze de Rosario (26e). Decisive passer on the opening of the score, Alexander Roldan then doubled the Panalty (82e) Before serving Paul Rothrock on the third goal (89e).
A real correction that the Argentinian Golden Ball was unable to avoid. Well muzzled by the opposing defense, the defending world champion ended the meeting with no shot on five attempts, no opportunity created and a single successful dribbling.
Messi Fair-Play, Suarez Disjunct
The former Barcelona still distinguished himself by his fair play. He is indeed the only player in Inter Miami to have stayed until the end to attend the trophy ceremony at Seattle Sounders, with his finalist medal around the neck.
His friend Luis Suarez cannot say as much. Hardly more inspired than Lionel Messi during the match, the Uruguayan striker got confused with several players during the game and then spat on a member of the opposing staff at the end of the debates. Infected.
