Mexican Fans Boo Messi During Inter Miami Match, Argentine Responds with Gesture

Inter Miami faced Mexican club América in a friendly match. The game ended in a 2-2 draw before the MLS side secured victory in a penalty shootout. Lionel Messi was substituted midway through the second half. As he left the pitch, América fans loudly booed the Argentine star.

The hostility stemmed from Messi’s actions earlier in the game. After scoring a goal, he repeatedly gestured toward the América supporters, signaling Argentina’s three World Cup titles compared to Mexico’s zero. This provoked a strong reaction from the crowd.
