Inter Miami has finished its season. Lionel Messi's teammates were eliminated in the first round of the play-offs, on the night of Saturday to Sunday, by Atlanta United (2-3). A major underperformance for the Herons who had a serious chance of winning MLS this season. But fate decided otherwise. A lot of frustration most likely among Tata Martino's men like Jordi Alba who did not fail to attack the referee of the match, Lukasz Szpala.
“You're a bitch”
The defeat and therefore the elimination of Inter Miami had a very bitter taste for Jordi Alba. The Inter Miami left-back didn't hesitate to tell the man in black what he thought of his match: “You're a bitch, you're a bitch”would have declared the former Barcelona player as reported by Mundo Deportivo. Very frustrated with this setback, anger took over for Jordi Alba. In front of the press, the Spaniard also expressed his incomprehension about the format of the competition: “We've been the most consistent team, breaking the points record, but so what. We wanted to win these playoffs. I'm not going to be the one to change the format now, but it seems a little unfair to me. It's happening. so for many years, it's clear, but if you ask me, I think I should be champion of one conference against the champion of the other.” An end to the season filled with frustration and a feeling of unfinished business for Jordi Alba.
