Mascherano Angry as Messi Misses Home Game After Suspension
Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano has voiced his frustration over Lionel Messi’s suspension, calling out Major League Soccer for what he sees as inconsistent treatment. The Argentine legend missed Inter Miami’s goalless draw against FC Cincinnati on Saturday, a match where his absence was strongly felt.
Speaking after the game at Chase Stadium, Mascherano, who once played alongside Messi at Barcelona, didn’t hold back his feelings about the league’s decision. He questioned the timing of the suspension, pointing out that Messi had played numerous matches without complaints, especially when his presence helped sell tickets and pack stadiums.
“But now that we have a home game, he’s suddenly suspended? Would this have happened if we were playing away?” Mascherano asked, clearly irritated by the situation.His comments followed MLS’ announcement just a day before the match, confirming that Messi had been suspended for missing the All-Star Game, along with teammate Jordi Alba.
Both players were part of the All-Star squad but opted not to participate, which led to a one-match ban under league rules. Mascherano hinted at double standards, suggesting the league was more interested in profits than fairness.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
