Inter Miami star Lionel Messi didn’t hold back in his criticism of MLS referees following the Herons’ 3-0 loss to Orlando City at Chase Stadium.

Inter Miami CF are back on the pitch for the third time in eight days as they host Orlando City SC in the Florida derby on Sunday. Coming off a 3–3 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes and a 4–1 loss to Minnesota United, Lionel Messi and the Herons will hope to bounce back and return to winning ways, while taking down their only rival in the state.
