A Cruz Azul player said it was “a shame” the foul they charged for Lionel Messi’s goal in his Inter Miami debut.

Carlos Salcedo’s message

“What a shame about the referees… they say that it was a foul on our #5 and here it is clear that there is no foul… either the #VAR is used at all or it is not used. I know that we are human beings, but now they have one more tool so that these things do not happen… Besides, more than the added time has passed”.
