After that match, Messi went to the opponent’s dressing room from the VIP gallery and later heard the news of misbehavior. The Monterrey coach can be heard taunting Messi.
LAll in all, the second-leg match was considered revenge for Messi. Stay away from revenge; Messi’s Inter Miami could not compete in Monterrey. The Mexican team Monterrey defeated the Florida team 3-1 (5-2 over two legs). Miami’s hopes of competing in the Club World Cup in 2025 were also dashed by this defeat.
Miami did not have a bad start on the opponent’s field. They aim to put pressure on the opposition’s defense by holding onto the ball. However, as much as they advanced in possession of the ball, they were not successful in creating chances. Messi was trying to create chances with the ball but could not do much. In the twenty-fiveth minute, Messi’s attempt was overruled. On the other hand, Monterrey was ahead in creating opportunities, even though they could not keep possession of the ball.
Miami fell behind in the 31st minute after a ridiculous mistake by goalkeeper Drake Callender. Passing to a teammate from near the post, he dropped the ball to the feet of Monterrey striker Brandon Vasquez. He did not miss such an opportunity. Through the goal to give Monterey a 3-1 lead over the two legs. Messi failed to score from a free-kick in the 35th minute. Then Suarez scored after Messi’s pass in added time in the first half, but it was ruled out for offside.
Miami was desperate for a goal after the break. Everyone was looking at Messi. However, Messi was a little out of sorts after returning from injury. Among them, Monterrey’s German Berterame stunned Miami with a great shot in the 57th minute. The Miami goalkeeper had no way of stopping his bullet-speed shot from outside the box.
Miami was knocked out of the match after falling behind by two goals. Then, in the 64th minute, Gallardo took advantage of another mistake by Miami and scored another goal. Falling behind by three goals, Miami became aggressive and started committing one foul after another. Because of this, Jordi Alba got a red card and left the field in the 78th minute. In the 85th minute, Diego Gomez scored one goal for Miami, but Messi did not win the revenge match. In the end, Miami fell behind 5-2 in two legs.
