Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino called out MLS officiating amid a new injury rule that star Lionel Messi seemingly criticized during the broadcast of the team's 3-2 win over Montreal on Saturday.

Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino called on Major League Soccer to 'revise' officiating amid a new player injury rule after star player Lionel Messi seemingly criticized it during a live broadcast following an injury scare to the 36-year-old on Sunday. Messi, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner as the world's best player, briefly left Inter Miami’s match at Montreal late in the first half after evidently having some sort of issue with his left knee.

' There are some circumstances that negate the required two-minute absence, one of which is if the injury occurred on a yellow or red card foul. Campbell was not carded for his foul of Messi. Martino took umbrage with both that call and the overarching rule when speaking to reporters after the match, per ESPN.com. 'In Leo's situation, he was clearly fouled,' Martino said.
