Luis Enrique

After Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Miami 4-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16 on June 29, 2025, Lionel Messi was visibly dejected but found solace in heartfelt reunions with former teammates. Ousmane Dembele, who played alongside Messi at Barcelona from 2017 to 2021, came on as a substitute for PSG and later swapped shirts with him, sharing a warm moment in the tunnel. PSG manager Luis Enrique, who coached Messi to nine trophies at Barcelona, including the 2015 Champions League, was seen smiling and affectionately stroking Messi’s hair during a post-match exchange. Messi also embraced former PSG teammates Gianluigi Donnarumma and Presnel Kimpembe, with whom he played during his two seasons in Paris from 2021 to 2023. These interactions, marked by handshakes and shared memories, lifted Messi’s spirits despite the crushing defeat.

Lionel Messi apologized to Atlas FC's Matías Cóccaro after an intense celebration during Inter Miami's 2-1 win in the 2025 Leagues Cup.

Cóccaro acknowledged the competitive heat of the moment, praising Messi’s gesture and calling him the greatest of all time.

Lionel Messi suspended

 Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba were suspended for one game by Major League Soccer for skipping the 2025 MLS All-Star Game without prior league approval. Per MLS rules, players who do not participate in the All-Star Game without an approved medical reason are ineligible to compete in their club’s next match. As a result, they missed Inter Miami’s game against FC Cincinnati on July 26, 2025. Messi opted to rest due to a packed schedule, while Alba was recovering from a prior injury. Inter Miami’s owner, Jorge Mas, called the suspension “draconian,” and MLS Commissioner Don Garber acknowledged the decision was difficult but necessary to enforce the league’s long-standing policy. Garber also noted the league would review the rule moving forward.
