Lionel Messi was booked for dissent in Inter Miami's 1-1 draw with Charlotte on Saturday night after the Argentina icon was alleged to have sworn at the referee

Lionel Messi blasted a referee in a furious tirade after Inter Miami were denied a late penalty in a tense MLS clash. Inter were held to a 1-1 draw against Charlotte at the Chase Stadium on Saturday night – their third consecutive draw.

Inter Miami almost clinched victory when Messis pass found Jordi Alba, who headed it to Suarez. However, Suarez missed the target and collided with Kahlina. This incident led to Lionel Messis anger over the referees decision not to award a penalty.
