Mascherano Slams Messi Suspension | Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati (0-0) ReactionInter Miami coach Javier Mascherano did not hold back after his team’s 0-0 draw with FC Cincinnati, tearing into Lionel Messi’s suspension, inconsistent officiating, and a series of controversial decisions. Messi and Jordi Alba were suspended by MLS for skipping the All-Star Game, and their absence was clearly felt at Chase Stadium.
Mascherano called out the double standards in how the league handles star players, especially when ticket sales are involved. He also blasted the lack of penalty calls for Inter Miami, despite their aggressive attack. Even with potential fouls involving Luis Suárez and Fafa Picault, no penalties were awarded.
To top it off, Cincinnati’s late goal was disallowed after a VAR review, further stoking tensions. Mascherano’s frustration boiled over as he earned a yellow card for shouting at the officials.
