Many fans criticized the lackluster performance of Messi and his teammates when Inter Miami lost to FC Dallas.

On the morning of January 23, Inter Miami had the second friendly match in the pre-season against FC Dallas. Unfortunately, Messi and his teammates lost 0-1 in a disappointing match.

Lionel Messi only played 69 minutes in this match and did not leave much of an impression. He only passed the ball 72% accurately (29/40), missed the ball all 3 times, had 3 shots and missed a big opportunity.

After the match, a part of the fans reacted with disappointment to the performance of Messi and his teammates in the last match. Some people even say they are an outdated group.

“Everyone should be mentally prepared to admit that Messi is out of time and has nothing left to contribute to the team.”

“How did Messi win FIFA The Best?”

“Golden Ball owner, why can’t you win a friendly match?”

“Messi is probably at the end of his career at Inter Miami. He should retire.”

Meanwhile, another fan questioned the poor performance of rookie Luis Suarez , who played alongside Messi in the recent loss to Dallas: “Hopefully Suarez’s performance today is only bad because he is still I’m recovering as well as trying to bond with my new teammates. Hopefully the main season will be different because today Suarez played like an amateur! Surely he’s not that bad?”

The reason why the fans reacted so violently was because this was the second match that Inter Miami did not win or even score a goal. Previously, the MLS team was held to a 0-0 draw by El Salvador with Messi only playing the first half.

After that, Inter Miami will fly to Saudi Arabia to continue the pre-season tour. They will play two matches here against Al Hilal (January 30) and Al Nassr (February 2), respectively. The second match is most anticipated because it will be the reunion between Messi and Ronaldo.
