Last Tuesday, Inter Miami suffered a difficult loss of 5-3 for Chicago FireA result that seriously endangered their chances of competing 2025 Supporters’ Shield. During the competition, speculation arose about a possible argument between Lionel Messi And Javier Mascherano.
In that game in Chase Stadium, the visitors jumped to a 2-0 lead by the 31st minute of the first half and the herons caught over. In that context, Messi approached the coach and had a short conversation with him, in which the Argentinian attacker seemed frustrated.
“I always talk to Leo. They said he spoke to me – people say everything,” Mascherano responded when he was asked about the rumor conflict during Friday’s press conference, shared by reporter Jose Armando X account.
“We were talking about the low block that Chicago used,” Clarified the Inter Miami coach. “If you look at the game, Chicago was in a very low block after those first two goals, the lines closed and there was very little room to find passes between the lines.”
Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano.
“There was nothing wrong with it. It was just a back and forth that, about the space problem, because they had fallen back very well and it was difficult for us to find gaps between the lines,” “ Mascherano added. “It was something I had already noticed and that we tried to adjust during the break in the dressing room.”

Inter Miami has no room for errors
After having already dressed a Playoff Ligplaats, Inter Miami has three regular seasonal competitions in which they will try to collect as many points as possible to pursue two important goals. The first is to end as high as possible in the rankings of the Eastern Conference, which would benefit them during the late season.
The second goal is to try to win the Supporters’s Shield for the second consecutive year – something that now seems very difficult. Philadelphia Union Lead the table with 63 points, while the herons have 56. The advantage for Messi and his teammates is that they still have a game to play, so they control the ability to reduce that shortage to four points.
Even in that scenario, Inter Miami would still need Philadelphia to drop points in both remaining matches And win all three of their own. If that happens, the figures would be sufficient to win the title.
