Messi loses his temper and insults the referee: “You're a badass, son of a bitch…”

Lionel Messi was once again the protagonist of the night in a new day of the Major League Soccer (MLS) in what was Inter Miami’s one-goal draw against Charlotte FC, but other than that, the focus was on some images left by the match after a tense discussion that the albiceleste had with the main referee of the match, Ramy Touchan , at the end of the duel.

Direct confrontation with the main

Messi was given a yellow card that could have easily been a straight red card.: “You’re a bad guy, you’re a bad guy. “Son of a bitch, bad blood,” was read on the player’s lips on several occasions when arguing with Touchan.

The Argentine player lost his temper after the referee did not whistle, which in his eyes It was a potential penalty on the Uruguayan Luis Suárez in the final minutes of the match, after he had shot against the crossbar and, without the ball, was knocked down in the area by the Charlotte FC goalkeeper, which nullified a possible chance of victory for the Inter Miami ended up adding their third consecutive draw.

You could see a quite upset Lionel Messi, to the point that, if it weren’t for the intervention of his teammate, the Spanish full-back Jordi Alba, could have seen the red card.

Heading to the postseason

Although the result may have been bitter for the Miami team, Las Garzas continue to be leaders of the Eastern Conference with a total of 65 points in the pocket, as well as the mathematical classification for the playoffs and also the next edition of the Concachampions. But despite this, the club still needs to secure the Supporters Shield championship, an award given to the best club in the regular season.

To do this he must get the best possible results in the last 3 games that remain to be played, against the Columbus Crew, Toronto and New England.

There is no margin for error for Miami

The latest results have not been the best and expected by the Inter Miami fans; 3 draws in a row have allowed the Los Angeles Galaxy, current leaders of the Western Conference, to close the gap in terms of points to continue in the fight for the Supporters Shield. Only 7 points is the advantage between the Florida team and the Los Angeles team. There is no margin for error for those from Fort Lauderdale, and they need the best Messi for this without a doubt.
