Vancouver fans were offered free tickets due to Messi’s absence from the match
Vancouver Whitecaps fans have been offered free tickets and discounts on food because of striker Lionel Messi’s performance in the North American Major League Soccer (MLS) match against Inter Miami. CTVnews reports this.
According to the source, the fans were unhappy with the footballer’s absence on the field. It turned out that Messi missed the match due to rest. Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets did not take part in the match with him. Fans were offered a free ticket to a future regular season game, as well as a fifty percent discount on food and drinks at the stadium.
Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino apologized to the fans, but drew attention to the fact that coaches need to make difficult decisions. “We must always remember the health of the players,” he said.
Messi is an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. He has been playing for Inter since 2023. As a member of Barcelona, he became the champion of Spain ten times and won the Champions League four times. With the Argentina national team, the forward became the world champion.
