Inter Miami fans leave the stadium as Messi is substituted.
Updated: 07/26/2023 12:46 p.m. I write about everything, and sometimes I even do it well.
The ‘Messi-mania’ is what he has. Leo Messi left the pitch in the 78th minute in the Leagues Cup match against Atlanta. At that time it was 4 – 0, a result with which the match ended. It was receiving the ovation of his own to sit on the bench and empty the stadium.
This reaction has received much criticism. It is normal for Leo Messi to shoot so much, but from there to abandoning the team there is little to explain. Many fans have pointed out this act as something negative and have questioned the passion for soccer that American soccer wants to instill. In the video above, the moment when the Inter Miami fans leave the stadium en masse after the substitution of Leo Messi.
Leo Messi and the Inter of Miami
The Argentine entered through the front door and has not disappointed. He has only played two games. In the first, a foul from the edge of the area at the last minute ended in a great goal. The goal also served to give the victory to the Florida team in the Leagues Cup against Cruz Azul.
In the next game, against Atlanta, also in the same competition, Messi started and left. He scored two goals and gave another. This makes a global calculation of three goals and one assist in two games. Crazy.
Sergio Busquets has followed the same steps as his partner. He was a substitute in his first game with Inter Miami, but he came out with 35 minutes to go to turn the game around. In the following he started, and with the result already sentenced, minutes before Leo Messi left, he was also substituted. In his case, (quite) fewer people left the DRV PNK Stadium.
