FC Dallas lost to Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup and many of the players were keen to take a picture with Lionel Messi after that game which their fans were not happy about
FC Dallas players have been criticised for trying to get a photo with Inter Miami star Lionel Messi.
The two teams contested a thrilling Round of 16 Leagues Cup tie at Texas’ Toyota Stadium in which Tata Martino’s men edged on penalties. The World Cup winner produced another stellar performance as his two goals helped his team secure a 4-4 draw after extra time, before winning the shootout 5-4.
The reaction of Dallas’ players prompted some angry tweets from their fans who were shocked to see how eager they were to take a snap with Messi after he had just defeated them. “You get knocked out of a competition then you form a line to take pictures with the guy responsible lmao this is unheard of,” one fan wrote.
Another asked in disbelief: “They were supposed to be sad but look at this?” Another wrote: “They don’t care that they just lost.” Messi continued his fine goalscoring form as he opened things after just six minutes after latching onto a cross for Jordi Alba. He produced a trademark curling left-foot finish into the bottom corner from just outside the box.
