The GOAT nearly sees red after referee snubs foul call — Inter Miami star lashes out in explosive confrontation!
Full Story:
Lionel Messi, typically calm and composed, lost his cool in dramatic fashion following Inter Miami’s chaotic 3-3 draw against San Jose Earthquakes. In the dying moments, referee Joe Dickerson waved off what Messi believed was a blatant foul just outside the box — and the Argentine legend snapped.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner erupted at the official, earning a yellow card for dissent. But his animated protest continued, forcing Dickerson to bark back: “Do you want me to send you off? Walk away!” Tension escalated until San Jose’s veteran coach Bruce Arena stepped in, diffusing the situation and pulling Messi away before a potential red card could ruin Inter Miami’s plans for their next match.
Despite Messi’s brilliance on the pitch, Inter Miami have been stumbling in the MLS standings. Their next test? A fierce clash with Orlando City — but all eyes will be on whether Messi faces any additional disciplinary scrutiny.
