Football : Lionel Messi plaqué au sol par un agent de sécurité pour cause de …
The friendly match played Thursday night in Puerto Rico between Inter Miami and the Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle offered a spectacle that was as surprising as it was unusual.
Playing for the Florida team, Lionel Messi took part in this friendly match originally scheduled for February 13, before the start of Major League Soccer. The game had been postponed due to an injury to the Argentine star, prolonging the wait for fans by almost two weeks.
And the unexpected events didn't end there. On match day, kickoff was delayed by an hour due to a jersey issue… which was never truly resolved. Both teams ultimately played in nearly identical black kits, adding a touch of confusion to an already unusual evening.
But the most dramatic moment came in the 88th minute. Fans invaded the pitch: one managed to take a selfie with Messi, while another went to embrace him. Attempting to control the situation, security personnel intervened forcefully, tackling not only the intruder but also the former FC Barcelona striker, who had been swept up in the action.
Fortunately, the incident was not serious and did not prevent the resumption of play. The match was completed and concluded with a 2-1 victory for Inter Miami, sealed by a penalty scored… by Lionel Messi, of course.
