“Worst thing happened to Lionel Messi’s career”, “Selfish fraud” - Fans slam Inter Miami star after 2-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps
Inter Miami fans on X have blasted Lionel Messi's teammate, Luis Suarez, after he performed poorly during their 2-0 loss against the Vancouver Whitecaps. The two sides faced each other in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-final at BC Place on Thursday, April 24.
The hosts looked dominant in the first half in front of goal, breaking the deadlock in the 24th minute via Brian White's header. Inter Miami attempted to stage a comeback in the second half, but some poor defending in the 85th minute led to Sebastian Berhalter emphatically finishing into the top-left corner to make it 2-0.
Suarez started up front alongside Lionel Messi, playing all 90 minutes. However, the 38-year-old struggled to make an impact, creating zero chances and landing zero shots on target from two attempts. Additionally, he lost two duels and appeared to be hesitant in front of goal.
One Inter Miami fan posted:
"Luis Suarez is the worst thing happened to Leo Messi’s career."
Another fan tweeted:
"A very selfish fraud"
