The owner of Inter Miami called Major League Soccer’s suspension of Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba for skipping the All-Star Game a “draconian” punishment. “They don’t understand the decision,” owner Jorge Mas said Friday of the one-game suspensions.

Inter Miami CF is furious about the suspension of two key players. Both Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will be forced to miss one game after sitting out of the MLS All-Star Game, and the club’s co-owner, Jorge Mas, did not hold back when talking about how Inter Miami felt about the punishment.
