Following Monterrey’s victory over Messi’s Miami in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, videos have surfaced showing Monterrey fans taunting the Argentine and his team’s supporters. In the ongoing debate over Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo’s status as the greatest of all time, it’s evident that Monterrey fans lean towards the Portuguese star.
In one video, Monterrey supporters mimic Ronaldo’s famous celebration, while in another, they are seen trampling on a Messi shirt. Tensions between Monterrey and Inter Miami have been escalating recently. The Mexican team’s coach, Fernando Ortiz, initially criticized Miami for benefiting from favorable refereeing decisions. Additionally, assistant coach Nico Sanchez issued an apology after making derogatory remarks about Messi.
There were altercations between players in the tunnel after the first leg, resulting in a fine for Miami, and it seems that this animosity has extended to the fans as well. Monterrey is set to face Colombus Crew in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-finals later this month, while Messi’s Miami will play Sporting Kansas City next in the MLS.
