The captain of Inter Miami and the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi, is accused of causing chaos during the match that his team lost to Monterrey of Mexico 1-2 in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
Despite his absence from the match and only watching it from the stands, the 8-time best player in the world sparked controversy due to his behavior towards the referee after the end of the match.
French Radio Monte Carlo said: “Inter Miami’s defeat against Monterrey angered the stars of the American League. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez asked the match referee for clarifications before clashing with the opposing team.”
The American Fox Sports network reported that Messi and his teammates went after the match to object to the referee’s decisions and quarreled with the substitute players on the Mexican team.
Mexican media also reported that Messi also quarreled with Monterrey coach Tano Ortiz.
For its part, the Spanish newspaper “AS” revealed that there was heated friction between the Inter Miami players, the referees and the Monterrey technical staff after the final whistle.
She explained that Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Inter Miami coach Tata Martino launched a series of complaints against the referee, and it all started immediately after Messi came down from the stands and went to the dressing room.
