(VIDEO) Lionel Messi and his curious discussion with the referee during the match against Nashville

For the first time in 9 matches, Inter Miami failed to win a match with Lionel Andres Messi, this time, they tied without goals against Nashville SC. Despite the bad result, one of the most striking and curious images arose from a Messi free kick, and his interaction with the match referee.

Lionel Messi was not as precise and active as on other occasions and had some friction with defender Jack Maher. When the final whistle blew, the captain also went to claim some action from the judge, but what was not seen in the transmission is that Leo had already argued with him in a specific action during the commitment.

The image was captured by a fan and occurred in the second half, just before Messi executed a dangerous free kick. The fact was that the man from Rosario wanted to move the ball a little to the side of where the foul had been, but the referee noticed that and corrected it. When the man in charge of administering justice turned around, Lionel returned to put the ball to his liking, but the judge warned him again.

When will Messi play again?

Inter Miami plays again this Sunday, and it will do so against nothing more and nothing less than LAFC, one of the most powerful teams in all of Major League Soccer. Its main star for years has been the Mexican Carlos Vela. The game will be held in Los Angeles.
