Lionel Messi frustrated as Inter Miami drop victory. |
On the morning of June 24, Messi left Hard Rock Stadium with a dissatisfied look on his face after Inter Miami dropped the victory from a two-goal lead, allowing Palmeiras to tie 2-2 in a match that was crucial to deciding the top spot in Group A.
The Argentine superstar was visibly upset, took off his shirt and walked away in an unhappy mood. According to the Miami Herald, Leo was unhappy that the team missed the opportunity to win the top spot.
Inter Miami entered the final match of the FIFA Club World Cup group stage with great determination. In the 16th minute, Tadeo Allende opened the scoring, helping the team to reduce the pressure. In the 65th minute, Luis Suárez doubled the gap, giving Inter Miami a sense of security and making fans believe that a place in the next round was in their hands.
With a two-goal advantage, coach Javier Mascherano's team seemed to have control of the match. However, in the final seven fateful minutes, Palmeiras created a spectacular score chase.
Paulinho pulled one back in the 80th minute, before Mauricio equalized in the 87th minute, putting Inter Miami in a difficult position. Fortunately, the draw held until the end of the match, ensuring Inter Miami's place in the round of 16 as Group A runners-up, even though they missed out on the chance to top the group.
Lionel Messi’s frustration was evident right after the final whistle. Messi’s frustration was understandable, as conceding two goals in the final seven minutes meant Inter Miami had to face Paris Saint-Germain – the European champions and tournament favourites – in the round of 16. Palmeiras, meanwhile, will face Botafogo, an easier opponent in the other match.
