Messi, Suarez Lead Miami Win Amid Security Incident

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez led Inter Miami to a 4-2 win over CF Montreal, each scoring twice to snap the club's four-game winless streak and boost their MLS campaign. Messi contributed a spectacular goal and an assist, while the team continued to struggle with defensive injuries to Jordi Alba, Gonzalo Luján, and Tomas Avilés. Coach Javier Mascherano expressed concern over the mounting injuries as Inter Miami gears up for the FIFA Club World Cup. At a recent youth tournament, a young fan was aggressively removed by security after rushing Messi, highlighting the challenges of managing his global stardom and the absence of his bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, from field duties. The incident drew attention to security protocols as well as the scrutiny facing Inter Miami amid their inconsistent form. Off the field, Messi and Suarez launched a new soccer club in Uruguay, expanding their influence beyond MLS.
