In the 19th minute after a fight, a general conflict was threatened, with Lionel Messi to intervene and grab Matias Oliveira by the throat, without being penalized even with a yellow card.
The tension continued shortly afterwards, with Manuel Ugarte clashing with him Rodrigo De Paul. The Paris midfielder made a gesture to the Atlético ace and many read on his lips that he was saying “stop taking Messi!”.
After the game, the Inter Miami superstar did not let what happened go unnoticed. “I prefer not to speak my mind, but these young kids need to learn respect. It’s a shame, because they actually have a really good batch. But they have to show respect, because these games were always tense and tough, but they always respected each other“, said “Leo”.
