Javier Mascherano, head coach of Inter Miami, commented on the conflict that occurred after the Leagues Cup final match against the Seattle Sounders. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The conflict began between players and team staff and then escalated into an open altercation. Notably, Luis Suarez did not engage in any physical confrontation with others, nor did he bite anyone, but he did spit in the face of a Seattle Sounders staff member.
Mascherano said through journalist Jose Armando: "I do not want to talk about the events after the match. No one likes such situations.
Perhaps this behavior was the result of provocation." The Seattle Sounders won the final with goals scored in the 26th, 84th, and 89th minutes.
This incident became one of the significant moments of the Leagues Cup final, and the rivalry between the teams continues to be intense.
