2024-04-05 04:13:00

Monterrey and Inter Miami ended the first leg duel of the CONCACAF Champions Cup Quarterfinals with anger after some players from the MLS team, including Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, rebuked Rayados’ team after statements made by Fernando “Tano” Ortiz.

Before the first leg against Inter Miami, the Monterrey coach caused controversy by talking about the refereeing and the fear he had that it would favor the MLS team, something that did not happen and even Tata Martino’s team was left without a player after the expulsion of David Ruiz in the 65th minute.

“Then come the referees, the framework, the people, everything that surrounds Messi can make sporting and non-sporting decisions.” […]. I don’t know if it hurts but the business is not there. The business is not going the way of Monterrey and we all know it. We all know that football is business. I’m going to beat him athletically, then there are things that I can’t handle,” added Tano Ortiz.

Rayados would have filed a complaint with CONCACAF after a fight with Messi and Inter Miami

After what happened at Chase Stadium, the Monterrey leadership ended up extremely upset by what happened and would have filed a complaint with the CONCACAF authorities: this, with the main reason that the MLS club be sanctioned after the behavior shown by his players after the game.

Until now, it is not known with certainty what Messi said to Tano Ortiz; However, Fernando Schwartz, a FOX Sports journalist, learned that the Inter Miami forward complained about what was said in the arbitration after David Ruiz was sent off for a double warning in just four minutes.
