Inter Miami and Lionel Messi are at the center of the controversy. Last Wednesday, the American team lost 2-1 against Monterrey in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Concachampions.
Despite his absence due to injury, the man from Rosario was one of the protagonists. The left-hander, present in the stands, occupied all the fronts. Indeed, he sparked controversy at the end of the match after going to reprimand the referee in the company of Gerardo Martino.
In addition, they had a lively discussion with the technical staff of the Mexican team, led by Fernando Ortiz. The discussion was recorded in audio by the strategist’s assistant, Nicolás Sánchez: “Messi wanted to fight me. I don’t think he wanted to hit me, otherwise he would have hit me. He held me a few inches away, he put his fist near my face. I think he was looking for my reaction more than hitting me. “, he stressed.
“And Messi appeared, who I thought was gone, and he wanted to eat me raw. Security approached me, but he didn’t touch me because I didn’t react. But the dwarf was possessed, he had the face of the devil. “Who do you think you are, salami?” “Who did you eat?” he said to me. I don’t think he insulted me, but since I wasn’t watching it, it was worse,” he added of the record, which quickly went viral.

Sánchez’s audio went around the world. However, The person involved quickly came out to apologize for the commotion generated. The Argentinian decided to record a video in which he expressed his regret for what happened in the locker room at Chase Stadium.

Sánchez continued and provided details of his actions: “I made the audio. The audio explained in detail what happened after the match. In the mixed zone, outside the locker rooms, as I detailed in this audio. It’s an audio that I sent to those around me, to my private environment. But hey, far from getting angry with them, it’s my mistake. This had never happened to me before. it will help me learn for later “, he indicated.
