SEATTLE - After suffering a 2-1 defeat to Liga MX club Monterrey during the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals, reports started surfacing all over social media suggesting that Inter Miami players had an altercation with Monterrey players and staff.
Everything started the day prior to the game, with Rayados coach Fernando Ortiz suggesting during an interview with journalist Santiago Fourcade that, Inter Miami star and club captain Lionel Messi receives some sort of special treatment from officials and that "everything that surrounds Messi can lead to sporting and non-sporting decisions".
