A cloud of woe overshadowed the Mercedes Benz stadium yesterday for the Herons, when their glorious 12-games win streak was ended by a determined Atlanta United. All these happened in the wake of Lionel Messi’s post showing a controversial pizza he intended to use for dinner.

The Argentine just returned from playing for his country, bringing with him a disqualifying baggage of muscle fatigue. A state of the body that would make him useless both in his country’s team and that of his club.

Following the coach’s knowledge of the situation, an important decision was made to put no further stress on the already creaking body. This was to grant the player a good amount of time to regenerate both his lost capability and confidence. Two things that would be very expedient in the next contest awaiting Inter Miami, which would feature the Florida-based team and Toronto.

Having made all the plans the coach thought would work at the absence of such a pillar as Messi, the coaching team appeared at the chessboard, the Mercedes Benz stadium. Beforehand, Messi posted the picture of a very strange pizza he purchased at Bancheros Miami, the food he seemingly intended to amuse himself with while watching the match. He would likely not enjoy the food nor the match in the end.

The first half was a mess. Inter Miami conceded three goals, one of which was scored by a team member. They could only score one.

Their woes were yet to begin, for Atlanta scored two more in the second half, while they only managed to score one more.

But for Messi, the bad results and the likely gloomy dinner was not enough, he would also suffer for his choice of dinner in the hands of Atlanta fans. The truth is that the pizza stirred up only adjectives such as ‘weird’, ‘bizarre’, ‘horrendous’, and their likes. It was a very strange type of pizza that had chopped tomatoes and onions showing on it, and seemed quite nutritious, but fans of conventional pizza know how the meal might taste.

The Argentine superstar’s 16 goals scored in 11 matches played a big role in the 12-matches win streak the club was holding, and just a few moments away had ended it.

To have only one champion is a bad situation in every club, and resembles putting all one’s eggs in a basket. Inter Miami fans look forward to the coming contest with Toronto. It would be hard to dethrone Inter Miami from their present position which is the second place, and they have to potential to dethrone the kings in the future.
