The non-manner tackle against Lionel Messi in a friendly match is controversial.
Inter Miami, where Messi is active, won 3-1 in a friendly match against Sporting San Miguelito at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama, Panama, at 7 a.m. on the 3rd (Korea time). Inter Myany is playing preseason games ahead of the full season opening in mid-February and has won its first game in three games.
On this day, Messi showed a Messi-like performance. Inter Miami allowed the first goal and was taken away, but Messi came from behind to win. He was able to score an equalizer with an attack that started from Messi's toes in the extra time of the first half.

Messi continued to play in the second half and showed a different level of performance. Every time I caught the ball in the center and the side, I did magic. Inter Miami, which quickly turned the tables in the third minute of the second half, scored again from Messi's toes in the 19th minute of the second half. David Ruiz, who received Messi's pass, even made Papa Pico's net goal.
Was Messi's outstanding performance a boost. A situation occurred in the 25th minute of the second half that should not have come out. With about two weeks to go before the opening of the season, Messi almost completely blew the 2025 season. This is because Messi was dealt a really dangerous murder tackle in this game.
In the 25th minute of the second half, when Messi fell to the right and received the ball, San Miguelito defender Aimar Kundumi tried to tackle Messi. Messi's tackle at this time was a tackle that could not be seen as a spirit of partnership. It wasn't a tackle that tried to take the ball away.

In the first place, the tackle timing was very late and Messi's feet were completely swept away. If Messi tried to hold out with strength, he would have broken his ankle or suffered a big injury to his ligament. Many fans couldn't forget the scene where Messi suffered an ankle injury and wailed loudly during the last Copa America, and they almost got seriously injured again. If Messi is seriously injured, he is old, so returning to injury is not really easy.
Inter Miami teammates were furious at the murder tackle directed at Messi. Messi's best friend Jordi Alba, who watched it right from behind, immediately ran toward Kundumi and pushed Kundumi. At this time, there was a big war of nerves between the players of both teams. The reason why Alba was even more angry was that Kundumi had already been warned for dangerous Messi for rough fouls. Kundumi made two non-manner plays toward Messi in two minutes and was sent off due to accumulated warnings.

What's surprising is that Messi, who was actually dealt with a murder tackle, was just watching from behind, maybe because he's been in such a situation a lot. After the war of nerves calmed down, he approached the referee and finished with a light complaint. It was fortunate that I wasn't hurt.
