In an absolutely amazing scene, a young football fan was removed by guards after trying to run to Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Messi and Suarez were spotted during the weekend in the Florida Blue Training Center of the club as part of a youth tournament – the Dreams Cup of the Inter Miami CF Academy.
After the two sat down under a shadow tent to avoid the hot sun in Florida, a group of people jump forward to catch a glimpse to the two football icons.
A fan was seen who sprint past guards to come to the tent, so that a guard would fall into the process.
When he finally reached Messi, he tried to get the Argentinian world cup winner to sign some merchandise he had.
Eventually several guards came by to give the 37-year-old some space from his admirers.
One fan seemed persistent and fights back against the guards who kept him away before they were put in a bear hug and was removed.
While the fan himself tried to walk away, the security ensured that he held him in his hands and struck him.
Ironically, another fan who was much calmer about the situation was able to slip past security and talk to both Messi and Suarez before he was ejected.
2025 has not been so fertile for Inter Miami as 2024. Last season Messi & Co. The supporters shield by collecting the most points from each MLS team.
But this year Miami is 11th in the Supporters Shield Table and seventh in the Eastern Conference.
Messi gave a rare interview after the game to Michele Giannone of Apple TV in Spanish after a demoralizing 3-0 loss for rivals in the state of Orlando City, who think about the form of his team.
“It's a difficult time, but we'll get through this,” said Messi in his native language.
'Now we will really see if we are a team. These are difficult times. If everything goes well, it is very easy, but when difficult times come – like now – we must be more united than ever, be a real team and get through it. '
The season before, Inter Miami set the record for the best regular season in the MLS history.
But this year Messi and a team consisting of former Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets and helped by Javier Mascherano did not perform on their standard.
“We come from a period of poor results,” said Messi. “But we have to keep working and think about what the next is.
“With three or four games left in May, we must (have to) finish the best possible way to face the World Cup of Club.”
Miami drew the Philadelphia Union during the weekend and was confronted with two more games against CF Montreal and the Columbus crew for their break for the Club World Cup.
The newly renewed Club World Cup should yield positive results for Inter Miami. They will be furthest in the group stage traveling a few hours north of Atlanta for a match against FC Porto from Portugal.
Their group stage matches against Al Ahly van Egypt and Palmeiras of Brazil will both take place in Miami.
