Leo Messi apparently had a clash with his compatriot Enzo Coppetti according to several Argentine media reports during Inter Miami‘s loss to Charlotte FC. The Argentine player got annoyed with the former Racing player in the 34th minute and seemed to reproach him with a serious gesture.
After Copetti approached him from behind and said something in Messi‘s ear, the Argentine legend looked at him insistently for a few seconds and walked away while saying something and gesticulating, without the cameras fully capturing the moment. However, things did not escalate and tempers cooled.
Copetti was the star of the match in the end, scoring the winning goal for Charlotte. On this occasion, Messi was unable to score and his team finishes the season with an inferior performance to that shown in the Leagues Cup. In addition, Copetti received a kick from Sergio Busquets in the head when trying to win a loose ball that could have cost the Spaniard a red card
