Audio leaks discussing the confrontation between Monterrey and Inter Miami have shed light on what Lionel Messi and Tata Martino said. The feisty exchange happened after Monterrey came back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat the MLS club at Chase Stadium. Now, Inter Miami must overcome a one-goal deficit to reach the semifinals of the competition. Messi did not play in that game, but he was in attendance when Miami fell to the Mexican side.
Audio has now come out from Monterrey assistant coach Nico Sanchez. The coach went into detail on the altercation and how it stemmed from Messi and Martino taking offense to the referees on the night.

Sanchez is alleging to the fact that if Monterrey and its coaching staff or players harangued the officials after the game CONCACAF would not hesitate to stomp the Mexican side. The assistant coach said as much to CONCACAF officials in the tunnel area where this all happened. That is when Martino and Messi overheard Sanchez’s comments, and the coach went into detail on the emotions of the two Argentines.

When I said that, Tata Martino who was going into the locker room turned around and started yelling at me, and Messi appeared and wanted to eat me alive! His security approached but didn’t do anything because I didn’t react. The dwarf was possessed, he had the face of the devil. He put his fist next to my face and said, ‘Who do you think you are?’…
