Let’s talk about the craziness that went down after Messi and Inter Miami lost to the Sounders at Lumen Field in Seattle on Sunday. Fans were heated, tensions were high, and things got downright wild.
So, imagine this: Messi gives it his all, but the Sounders come out on top. As celebrations are in full swing, some fans take things a bit too far outside of the stadium and a brawl breaks out. I mean, come on – it’s just a game!
The Seattle Sounders earned a 3-0 victory and their first Leagues Cup trophy, which had fans in their feelings.
A shocking video of members of the two fan bases brawling outside Lumen Field in Seattle has emerged. More than just punches were thrown as objects flew through the air during the frightening scene.
The 21-second clip showed a traffic cone being thrown by an Iner Miami fan towards a Sounders supporter. The cone struck the man in the face, knocking his cap off. It should be mentioned that a Sounders fan appeared to launch a trash can at a Miami fan in a black hoodie. Luckily for him, he was able to block the waste from hitting him and causing damage.
The footage also showed the chaos breaking out with no security in sight. It is unclear if anyone got seriously hurt or if any fans were arrested for their actions.
Inter Miami was humiliated in front of 70,000 spectators.
Instead of taking their loss on the chin, they let out their frustrations after the final whistle, when several Miami players, led by Luis Suarez, got into a scuffle with Seattle players.
Suarez sparked a fight as he ran over to a celebrating Obed Vargas and suddenly put him in a headlock. That moment sparked a huge scrum of players from both teams as they got into each other’s faces.
To make matters even worse, the Inter Miami star appeared to spit in the face of a Sounders security guard during the altercation.
Whether you’re a Messi fan, a Sounders supporter, or just a casual observer, you can’t deny that things got pretty crazy after that match. Hopefully everyone involved is okay and maybe next time, fans can keep the excitement to cheers and high-fives instead of fists flying.
