Definitely non used to losing, Inter Miami were presumption a rough realness check out on Monday, as they came crashing down to Seattle Sounders at the Leagues Cup final. It was a one-sided affair as Seattle cruised to a 3-0 win, and Miami skipper Lionel Messi was invisible throughout the match, also missing easy chances.
After the final whistle, as the Seattle players began to celebrate, Miami striker Luis Suarez didn't take the defeat well and had an issue with the celebration. He approached Obed Vargas, who was celebrating, and then put the Mexican in a headlock.
Vargas' teammates rushed to his defense and removed Suarez, which further angered the former Barcelona man.

Busquets' punch added further fuel to the fire as it left the Seattle players raging.

Speaking after the match, Miami head coach Javier Mascherano was asked about the brawl, and he expressed total disappointment. He said, "I don’t have much to say [about the incidents after the match]."
"None of us likes to see this kind of behavior. When there’s a reaction, it usually means there was some provocation," he further added.
Commenting on the defeat, he said, "In matches like these, details are decisive. The first few minutes cost us the game. We tried to grow into it, but unfortunately, we conceded in the first half. In the second half, we dominated and created chances."
"The 3-0 scoreline is too heavy. We took risks, and their second goal effectively ended the game."
