MLS ban to affect Lionel Messi's future at Inter Miami
Lionel Messi was slapped with a one-match ban by MLS for skipping the All-Stars match last week. Inter Miami's co-owner Jorge Mass revealed that the club captain was not happy about it, hinting that it could affect their contract talks with him.
āThe reaction was exactly as expected: Not positive... They donāt understand the decision. They donāt understand why not attending an exhibition match leads directly to a suspension. I think the rule is going to change. Leo Messi is extremely upset. Iām hopeful it doesnāt have an impact long-term," said Jorge Mass.

"Will it have an impact on his perception of the league and its rules? No doubt. Lionel is different from everyone else. He wants to participate in competitive matches. He is very, very angry, but we must unite as one entity, we are against the world, and that must be reflected in our performance during the second half of the year," he added.
