After objecting to what the Philadelphia Union player had done to his 19-year-old Inter Miami teammate Noah Allen, Lionel Messi became enraged.

Inter defeated Nashville 4-1 away from home to advance to the League Cup final on Sunday.

In the tournament, Messi scored his ninth goal for Inter in six games, and Josef Martinez, Jordi Alba, and David Ruiz all scored.

Alejandro Bedoya scored a late consolation goal for Union, but Jose Andres Martinez took Messi’s fury in the second half.When Allen collapsed to the ground as a result of his challenge in the 80th minute with the score still 4-1, the Venezuelan cut a frustrated figure and he stood over him and booted through him to try to get the ball.The midfielder gave Allen a small nudge and then swatted his hand away. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner confronted Martinez in front of the camera because Messi did not like the 29-year-old’s behavior one bit.He gave a deathly glare and was heard exchanging some coarse language, which may have included slurs with Spanish expletives.Martinez allegedly asked Messi, “How are you going to kick him to the ground like that?” according to reports. The referee quickly intervened to prevent a full eruption of rage.Messi’s leadership and enthusiasm have been clearly seen across the pond, and earlier this month, he got into a heated argument with Orlando City’s Cesar Araujo in the tunnel.The 36-year-old has displayed a level of ferocity that was lacking during his tenure at Paris Saint-Germain, as demonstrated by his on-field incident with Felipe Martins.Messi will compete in his 42nd career final this weekend. His impact on Inter has been tremendous.No of the outcome, Gerard Martino’s team will compete in the CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament next season even though they are now last in the MLS.
