Monterrey reportedly filed a complaint against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami

On April 3, Lionel Messi was reportedly involved in a heated exchange with Monterrey coaching staff after the first leg quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, which ended in a 2-1 loss for the Major League Soccer club.

The altercation reportedly took place over the Rayados' head coach Fernando Ortiz's pregame comments suggesting unfair officiating in the home team's favor. The Liga MX club filed a complaint against their opponent.

Following the complaint, CONCACAF carried out an investigation and after collecting evidence and documentation, the association fined Inter Miami over the incident. In a statement, CONCACAF said (Goal):

"After considering the documentation and evidence gathered during their investigation, which included requesting written statements from both clubs and thoroughly reviewing the reports submitted by the match officials, and based on the competition's regulations and the applicable Disciplinary Code, the Disciplinary Committee has fined Inter Miami CF an undisclosed amount for lack of security in their stadium."

Lionel Messi's side are currently third in the Major League Soccer and will face Sporting Kansas City next in the league on April 13.
