Lionel Messi loses his cool and insults a referee! ( VIDEO )

Yesterday evening did not smile on Inter Miami. Despite a superb goal from Lionel Messi and a clear domination on the pitch, the Florida team had to settle for a draw against Charlotte (1-1).

This result has no real impact on the ranking, since Inter Miami remains at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference. However, Lionel Messi let his frustration show. According to images broadcast by Apple TV, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner was caught addressing the referee in an uncourteous manner.

Argentinian daily life Olé reports that Messi insulted the referee by calling him a “son of a bitch” after the latter refused to whistle a penalty in favor of his team. This reaction earned him a yellow card at the end of the match, and a more severe sanction could yet be imposed.
