🚨 Lionel Messi SUSPENDED for Inter Miami Clash ❌
Major League Soccer has handed Lionel Messi a one-match suspension, ruling him out of Inter Miami's weekend clash vs FC Cincinnati.
Why? He failed to appear at the MLS All-Star Game, a requirement for selected players unless officially excused. The league enforces this to maintain the prestige of the All-Star event.
🇦🇹 David Alaba Also Penalized
Real Madrid defender David Alaba received a fine from La Liga authorities after missing a similar promotional event earlier this summer. These decisions show leagues are enforcing player commitments strictly ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
