Last night, Inter Miami played to a thrilling 3-3 draw against San Jose in the MLS regular season, and the legendary Lionel Messi was visibly frustrated with the result.

Details: Immediately after the final whistle, the Argentine forward approached the match referee to voice his dissatisfaction.

Messi was unhappy not only with the performance of the officiating crew, but also with the referee's decision to add only 5 minutes of stoppage time. Inter Miami's captain believed there were more interruptions and that additional time should have been compensated.

For his protest, Messi was shown a yellow card, and San Jose head coach Bruce Arena had to step in to calm the situation.

Inter Miami has managed just one win in their last six matches, conceding 17 goals during this stretch under Javier Mascherano's leadership.

Reminder: It was previously reported that as part of a charity project, Messi will choose his favorite goal of his career.
