May 14, 2025; San Jose, California, USA; Inter Miami CF forward Lionel Messi (10) dives for a header in the first half against San Jose Earthquakes defender DeJuan Jones (22) at PayPal Park. Mandatory Credit: David Gonzales-Imagn Images An unlikely person helped save Lionel Messi from receiving a postmatch red card on Wednesday night — San Jose Earthquakes coach Bruce Arena.
Messi of Inter Miami was irate when he was tackled just outside the box during second-half stoppage time of the 3-3 tie in San Jose. He barked at the officials after the non-call and his frustration increased after the contest ended, resulting in a yellow card.
Messi was still barking at the officials while shaking hands with assorted players on the field when he headed over to further confront the trio. Head referee Joe Dickerson said “walk away now” to the fuming Messi.
But there was Arena standing in the mix with Messi and the three officials, serving as part peacemaker and part negotiator before personally walking Messi away.
“He was obviously not happy, and I wanted to make sure he wasn’t going to get a red card,” Arena said during his postgame news conference. “I just tried to move him out of the way, because for him to get a red card at the end of the game would have been ridiculous.
“I just wanted to make sure we get him out of there and he’s ready to play the next game for Miami.”
Messi has five goals and three assists in nine MLS matches this season entering Sunday’s home game against Orlando City.
The tie with the Earthquakes gave Inter Miami a point but the club is just 1-2-1 over the last four MLS matches and 1-4-1 across all competitions. Miami has allowed 17 goals in the six matches.

Červenku čeká velké jubileum. Je to číslo, o kterém jsem ani nesnil, ale teď chci týmový úspěch
Herning (Od našeho zpravodaje) – Proti Maďarům zapsal dvě asistence, tu první vykouzlil hned v úvodní třetině na Pastrňákovu trefu. I tak po zápase, pro leckoho zbytečném, byl lehce kritický. „Chceme se v turnaji postupně zlepšovat, ale teď jsme úplně ten krok asi neudělali.“Takže jaký to byl duel?Vedli jsme 2:0, což trochu svádí k přehrávání situací. Druhá třetina byla špatná, pak jsme zase zabrali a dali góly. Chceme se v turnaji postupně zlepšovat, ale dneska jsme úplně ten krok dopředu asi neudělali.Upřímně, jde se ale vyhecovat proti Maďarsku?Tak hlavně, když vedete, ještě nahrajete, nestřílíte z každé pozice. Tolik se netlačíte do brány, oni vás nechají hrát okolo a předbrankový prostor si docela pokrývali. Přesto tam nějaké šance byly.Asi je v takových zápasech velký rozdíl mezi narvanou arénou v Praze a tady poloprázdnou v Herningu, že?Ano, obrovský rozdíl. Lidi v Praze byli právě na tyto zápasy úplně klíčoví k tomu, abyste to hrál jednoduše. Byla tam […]
