Video: Messi hits opponent and possible penalty
Argentinian Lionel Messi is facing the possibility of a penalty from the Major League Soccer (MLS) after being involved in a physical altercation and a slapping incident during the match between Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Although he was not immediately penalized, footage emerged showing him slapping an opponent, leading to an investigation by the disciplinary committee. A fine is expected to be imposed on Messi, in accordance with league regulations that punish deliberate contact to the neck or head, especially if such actions escalate or lead to a brawl. The committee is set to make its final decision shortly, ahead of Inter Miami’s next match against Toronto FC.
