Major League Soccer (MLS) has fined Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi for striking an opponent during a recent league match.
The disciplinary action followed an incident involving the Argentine forward, who was found to have breached the league’s rules governing player conduct.
MLS announced the financial sanction as part of its post-match disciplinary decisions, with Messi receiving the fine over his involvement in the incident.
The decision comes as MLS continues to enforce its disciplinary regulations regardless of a player’s status or profile.
Messi remains a key figure for Inter Miami, having played a central role in the club’s performances since joining the team.
The fine does not constitute a suspension, meaning Messi remains available to feature for Inter Miami unless further disciplinary action is announced.
The Argentine superstar has continued to attract significant attention in Major League Soccer, both for his performances on the pitch and his influence on the growth of the competition.
