“Then come the referees, the framework, the people, everything that surrounds Messi can make sporting and non-sporting decisions.” […]. I don’t know if it hurts but the business is not there. The business is not going the way of Monterrey and we all know it. We all know that football is business. I’m going to beat him athletically, then there are things that I can’t handle,” added Tano Ortiz.

Rayados would have filed a complaint with CONCACAF following a fight with Messi and Inter Miami
