Argentine star Lionel Messi and Joel Huiqui, coach of Cruz Azul, put more courage and passion to the cross of words they had in the band than to the process of a game for the Champions Cup. The trophy was left in the hands of the Garzas against a Celeste Machine that showed too much passivity, being far from their MX League championship category.
This controversial dialogue captured the eyes in the match in Miami, where the local squad won 2-0 over the cemetery and where the Brazilian Casemiro put the cherry cake to ensure the title of the American squad.

At first it seemed that the game had concluded without extra-sports contractions, but on social networks began to viralize images of the intense verbal duel that the Argentine star held with the strategist of the celestes.
The heated talk occurred when the attacker appeared on the right side during the first half; although at the beginning the dialogue seemed friendly, little by little it rose in tone to denote the clear anger of the captain of the Garzas before the mocking responses of the Cruz Azul coach.

On the recordings, we both exchange gestures and complain with our hands. Although the videos do not allow to know exactly what words were said due to the noise of the tribunes and the distance of the cameras, the exchange of gestures between the attacker and the cemetery colonel was fully recorded.
Within the playing field, Messi had a decisive contribution for Inter Miami to win the title. The South American opened the scoring during the first half with a head-to-head finish after a service from Luis Suárez, a score that represented his 100th goal with the Garzas T-shirt since his arrival in 2023.

The U.S. squad expanded the advantage in the final straight of the match when Casemiro appeared within the area to connect a corner shot executed by Messi himself, placing the definitive 2-0. With this victory, the Argentinian added a trophy more to his club’s vitrines after the successes of the Leagues Cup, Supporters’ Shield and the MLS Cup.
