Messi kan bli straffet for dårlig oppførsel etter stygt tap
Lionel Messi risikerer utelukkelse for sin oppførsel mot dommerne etter at Inter Miami tapte 0-3 for Los Angeles FC i sesongåpningen i MLS lørdag.
Det skriver The Athletic, som rapporterer at en video viser Messi idet han prøver å følge dommerne gjennom en dør, mens lagkamerat Luis Suárez prøver å holde ham tilbake.
Cincinnati-spiller Matt Miazaga ble for noen sesonger siden utestengt i tre kamper for å ha tatt seg inn i dommergarderoben etter en kamp.
Det går ikke klart fram av videoen hvorvidt det var dommergarderoben Messi bega seg inn i. Han forsvant ut av bildet en kort stund, før han fulgte sine lagkamerater inn i gjestegarderoben.
MLS har ennå ikke kommentert hendelsen. Vanligvis kommuniseres eventuelle disiplinærsaker i løpet av noen dager etter seriekampene.
Messi har aldri vært utestengt for dårlig oppførsel mot dommere.
Det var uansett en tung sesongstart for den argentinske superstjernens lag, som er regjerende MLS-mester. Lørdagens kamp ble sett av hele 75.673 tilskuere. (NTB)
