Lionel Messi was frustrated that Inter Miami dropped points. |
On the morning of June 24th, Messi left Hard Rock Stadium with a displeased expression after Inter Miami squandered a two-goal lead, allowing Palmeiras to equalize 2-2 in a match that was crucial for determining the top spot in Group A.
The Argentinian superstar was visibly annoyed, taking off his shirt and walking away in a bad mood. According to the Miami Herald, Leo was unhappy that the team missed the opportunity to take the top spot in the league.
Inter Miami entered their final group stage match of the FIFA Club World Cup with high determination. In the 16th minute, Tadeo Allende opened the scoring, easing the pressure on the team. Then, in the 65th minute, Luis Suárez doubled the lead, giving Inter Miami a sense of security and making fans believe that qualification was already in their grasp.
With a two-goal advantage, coach Javier Mascherano's team seemed to have control of the match. However, in the fateful final seven minutes, Palmeiras staged a spectacular comeback.
Paulinho pulled one back in the 80th minute, before Mauricio equalized 2-2 in the 87th minute, putting Inter Miami in a difficult position. Fortunately, the draw held until the end of the match, securing Inter Miami's place in the round of 16 as runners-up in Group A, although they missed the chance to finish first.
Lionel Messi's frustration was evident immediately after the final whistle. Messi's disappointment is understandable, as conceding two goals in the final seven minutes meant Inter Miami faced Paris Saint-Germain – the European champions and top contenders – in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Palmeiras would face Botafogo, a much easier opponent, in the other match.
