Messi and teammates were crushed by PSG. In the early morning of June 30, PSG crushed Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
In a situation on the field, PSG midfielder Vitinha easily dribbled past Messi. The Inter Miami star lost his temper and reacted by repeatedly waving his arms at Vitinha in retaliation. Luckily for Messi, the referee did not book him in this situation.
However, this action caused Messi to be heavily criticized for his playing attitude. ESnomanu account wrote on X: "What is Messi doing? Why did he swing his arm at Vitinha? He doesn't know how to accept defeat, what a bad sportsmanship ."
Another user, Alexandre Carvalho, said: "It's the image of someone who is lost, who doesn't want to see a player he doesn't like become a star."

The matter seemed to be resolved quickly when Messi and Vitinha hugged each other at the end of the match. PSG also shared this image on their official social media channels to calm public opinion.
Previously, there was information that Messi and Vitinha had conflicts during their time playing together at PSG. However, the PSG midfielder denied having a rift with Messi.
Vitinha has had a breakout year at PSG, playing a key role in helping the club win the treble in the 2024/25 season. On the national team, Vitinha also helped Portugal win the 2025 Nations League.
After their defeat in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, Messi and Inter Miami will return to MLS action, while PSG will face Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals.
