During halftime at the DRV PNK Stadium, Messi was seen mouthing a few words to an Orlando player as the two sides made their way to the players’ tunnel. Inter Miami defeated Orlando City 3-1 to advance to the Leagues Cup quarterfinals. Lionel Messi continued to shine in his new home at Inter Miami, scoring another brace with two volleys. Both of Messi’s goals were skillfully executed; he found space in the area and volleyed past the custodian with both of his feet, first with his left and then his right. Read on to see the Viral Video of Lionel Messi.
Messi played with an enthusiasm and mentality that the Argentinean very rarely exhibits during a physical and tense match, though. To stop a rampaging Messi who has scored in every game since making his Miami debut, Orlando looked for a different strategy.
Orlando’s players attempted to tackle Messi physically, but instead wound up fouling him multiple times. Messi has previously faced targeting from opposing defenders, but this time it seemed to have gotten to him. Throughout the competition, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner occasionally gave off a disgruntled vibe.

Check out some snaps from the viral video below.
Fans posted videos of Messi pushing Orlando’s number 5 Cesar Araujo in response to a tackle Twitter. Araujo wowed with a goal in the 17th minute. Although it was one of the numerous fouls committed by both teams in a stop-start game, Messi’s incredible form was unaffected as he increased his goal total to 5 in 3 games. Check out the video here.
Another video showed Messi arguing with Orlando’s Felipe Martins in the 83rd minute, which required Miami attacker Leonardo Campana to break up the argument. Till the conclusion of the game, it persisted. During halftime at the DRV PNK Stadium, Messi was also observed mouthing a few words to an Orlando player as the two sides made their way to the players’ tunnel. See the video here.
While Messi has often maintained his composure throughout his career and let his play speak for itself, the match brought back memories for some fans of the tense battle between Argentina and the Netherlands at the World Cup in Qatar. In that hotly contested match, where players from both teams committed numerous fouls and received bookings, Messi frequently lost his composure.
Miami carried on with the competition, motivated by Messi, putting the emotions of the game aside. He started the scoring, but it took a Josef Martinez penalty to reclaim the lead after the break. Miami will now start preparing for their quarterfinal Leagues Cup match against FC Dallas on Sunday after Martinez helped Messi score an insurance goal.
