Not everything was joy for Lionel Messi after obtaining the Champions Cup title.The Argentine footballer was noticeably upset during the protocol awards.

In video it was portrayed as Lionel Messi was the first to make the claim and then Don Garber tried to approach the footballer.
Until now there is no official report detailing what were the reasons for the incident between the two characters.
The first of them is related to Lionel Messi’s annoyance with the arbitration. The footballer of Inter Miami has repeatedly expressed his disconformity with the decisions of the game’s judges. Messi protested several times and the complaint may be directed towards that topic. It is important to note that this has been a recurring occurrence.

The second reason has a little more weight. Lionel Messi will not participate in the 2025 All-Star Game. Under Garber’s direction, the MLS decided to suspend Lionel Messi for a match. In addition, the Argentinian was fined in August this year after an incident with Philadelphia Union’s Quinn Sullivan.
