Many thought Monterrey’s entourage committed a blunder by angering Lionel Messi after a previous altercation. Monterrey was warned of facing a dangerous and wounded Messi. But the Argentine misfired today, as Monterrey embarrassingly knocked Inter Miami out of the CONCACAF Champions Cup by beating them 3-1 (aggregate 5-2). With this, the Miami side grandly blew a clear chance to qualify for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

It was absolute domination and demolition from Monterrey’s side. The Mexicans dominated the attack with a staggering nine shots on goal to Inter Miami’s one goal. Adding insult to injury, Miami’s superstar defender Jordi Alba picked a red card while playing a losing game. Fans are absolutely devastated at the Herons’ poor showing. They now rush in crowds to call out David Beckham and Co.

The Inter Miami side had a glimmer of hope when word got out that Lionel Messi has recovered and will start against Monterrey. However, not only has Messi misfired, but now the team in pink is facing fan fury for this excessive dependence on the Argentine. They lament how the team has miserably failed to fight in the away game while projecting the 2022 World Champion as their central figure.

Fans blast Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami after disappointing Champions Cup exit

After Inter Miami’s loss, a fan took to the team’s X handle to give a reality check for David Beckham and co. “Beckham you brought Messi but didn’t bring a team with him, he’s alone on the team, Messi alone won’t do everything to you,” the fan said in reply to Miami’s post on the Monterrey game.

Uh-oh! Tata Martino takes the heat from fans for consistently struggling to win. Besides, the loss against Monterrey, Miami has not tasted a win in the last four games.

The ‘goat’ used to taunt Lionel Messi, instead of praising him.

Zero respite for Tata Martino as the word on the street is that he must part ways with the South Florida club.

Fan rightly laments Inter Miami’s defensive downfall, as Sergio Busquets gets forced to protect their defense line.

Some fine wordplay to grill the David Beckham co-owned side.

Inter Miami next faces Sporting Kansas City on the road in an MLS tie. Thereafter, they play Nashville and New England in April. Courtesy of their losses and draws, Miami has lost the top spot in the East. Now they are the third seeds. If these aforementioned clashes don’t go well, the Herons will risk their third spot to some other team.
