LIONEL MESSI lashed out at a referee with an X-rated tirade after Inter Miami’s third consecutive hapless draw in the MLS.
Star-studded Miami‘s winless streak extended to three matches after a 1-1 draw with Charlotte on Saturday at the Chase Stadium.
The visitors opened the scoring with Karol Swiderski on 57 minutes but Messi, 37, equalised just 10 minutes later.
The hosts came close to snatching a late winner in the 12th minute of stoppage time.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner lofted the ball towards ex-Barcelona team-mate Jordi Alba, who headed it across to another Blaugrana legend in Luis Suarez.
However, Suarez failed to score from close range as he volleyed the ball over the bar.
The striker then rolled on the ground in agony after colliding with Charlotte goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina.
Messi was seething at full-time as he claimed the Liverpool legend should have been awarded a penalty.
The camera caught the star forward lambasting the official after the final whistle.
According to Ole via Mundo Deportivo, Messi told the referee: “You’re a mean-spirited son of a b***h!”

Surprisingly the ref only showed the Argentina captain a yellow card instead of a red.
Charlotte had a goal ruled out for offside during the match when Kerwin Vargas beat Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender from close range.
Messi continues to dominate the MLS with a whopping total of 15 goals and 10 assists in 16 appearances.
MANCHESTER UNITED are watching Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson as they look for a new No 2.
The Red Devils want a young shot-stopper to understudy Andre Onana and 24-year-old Patterson is firmly in their sights.
Former goalie Tony Coton, now United’s keeper scout, is checking out the Black Cats star as he fits the bill in every way.
Coach Erik ten Hag is firmly behind Onana as his first choice so Altay Bayindir, 26, has hardly had a chance and may move.
Bayindir has won ten caps for Turkey and faced Portugal at Euro 2024 — but his appearance in the 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley this month was only his second for United since joining in summer 2023.
Ten Hag is keen to have more competition for Onana.
Patterson has been linked with moves in the past but is yet to get the Premier League call and the England Under-21 cap may have to initially settle for being a reserve at a top-flight club.
Crystal Palace have also taken an interest in Patterson but can only offer a reserve role behind Dean Henderson.
Liverpool also short-listed Patterson ahead of a possible exit for Republic of Ireland cap Caoimhin Kelleher, but that would be as cover again.
Sunderland price Patterson at around £20million but may take less.

They will not want to lose him this season as they chase promotion, so a summer switch could be more likely.
Meanwhile, Birmingham are plotting a raid on Sunderland’s 17-year-old midfielder Chris Rigg.
Their American owners have splashed out since relegation to League One and could offer £10m.
Everton are also tracking Rigg who has been on their wish list for a couple of years.
AN ANGRY mum has blasted McDonald’s after an email was sent out by mistake telling her a limited edition milkshake flavour was returning.
Emily posted grabs from the correspondence on Facebook yesterday, jokingly adding “kids are crying now”.
She was seemingly planning a birthday party for her child at the fast food restaurant and was excited to receive an email from character Grimace.
He informed her his popular blueberry and vanilla-flavoured Grimace Shake would be available despite being discontinued in the UK on September 3.
It said: “Yoo, Emily – it’s Grimaceeee!!
“I’m gatecraaashing the birthday celebrations to bring youuu my Grimace Shake – so tryy it this week!!!”
The email was signed off with: “Luv from Grimace.”
However, Emily then received a second more generic email from McDonald’s, saying: “Oops! We are sorry to confirm that the Grimace Shake is sadly not back.
“We apologise for any disappointment caused, and hope to bring it back to the menu at some point in the future.”

Other McDonald’s lovers said in the comments to Emily’s post that they also received the “oops” email.
However, one person provided some hope, saying: “My daughter works for McDonald’s and it is coming, she showed me the promo stuff.”
The Sun was told by a McDonald’s source the Grimace email was, in fact, “sent by mistake and went widely”, with an inquiry launched to understand what happened.
It is unclear if the flavour is returning, however.
The Grimace Shake was first sold in the US from June 11 to July 2023 last year to celebrate the 52nd birthday of the milkshake-loving character from McDonaldland.
It gained popularity on TikTok and YouTube with the #GrimaceShake trend.
It came to the UK for a brief spell from August 28 to mark the restaurant’s 50 years here.
McDonald’s regularly shakes up its menu to make way for new items.
Earlier this month, the fast food chain shook up its menu to coincide with the launch of McDonald’s monopoly.

To mark the return of its sticker peeling game McDonald’s has brought back a number of fan favourites
These include:
If you are keen to try any of these new menu items you will need to act quickly as they are set to be pulled from restaurants in about three weeks.
Meanwhile, from next month there will be a twist to the breakfast menu.
From October 16, foodies will be able to bag a five-pack of the mini hashbrowns costing £1.49.
If you’ve still got room for more, a 15-piece sharebox will set customers back £2.99.
While a single regular-size hashbrown costs £1.19.
Meanwhile, Maccies has teased the return of its McRib.
The company’s website describes Grimace as a “large, purple, rotund being of indeterminate species with short arms and legs”.
It adds: “He was known for his slow witted yet optimistic demeanour.”
He was originally an evil thief, who would steal milkshakes, before becoming benign.
Grimace is among the most well-known McDonaldland characters alongside Ronald McDonald and Hamburglar.
A McDonald’s source told The Sun: “The email was sent by mistake and went widely.
“We’re working with the team to figure out how this happened.”
We have contacted McDonald’s for comment.
