El clásico del Sol between Inter Miami and Orlando City for the 16th round. of the Leagues Cup final generated expectation and the rosarino star returned to shine but he also had his burning moments, especially with the Uruguayan César Araujo, the rival’s player.
It all started at the end of the first stage when Messi had the ball and pulled Araujo off with his arm and was fired. Then in a new dispute, the Orlando City midfielder wanted to take advantage but the referee charged a violation in favor of Inter.
When it seemed that the cross between the two players had ended on the playing field, both footballers continued the discussion as they walked to the changing room area following finishing the first half with a partial draw (1-1) between both teams.
In the heated exchange it was observed that Messi covered his mouth while speaking but it was not like that in the case of the Uruguayan midfielderwhich the official broadcast cameras were able to capture.
“But why?… No, you’re crazy, you!”, were the words that might be read from Araujo’s lips. While Messi was walking, a technical assistant offered him water, which the Argentine refused in order to continue the discussion..

After the match that ended with a 3-1 victory for Inter Miami, the Uruguayan minimized the situation and did not reveal details of the harsh dialogue: «They are things of the party that remain there. There is no anecdote. The anecdote is that I played once morest the best in the world, that is what I will have left, “said César Araujo.
