Lionel Messi Faces Financial Penalty

The Disciplinary Committee of Major League Soccer has imposed a fine on Lionel Messi for slapping Quinn Sullivan during a match that ended in a 2-2 draw between Inter Miami and Philadelphia. The fine was issued for violating the league's policy regarding touching the face or neck, which occurred during added time when Messi approached Sullivan and slapped him following a brief altercation. The referee did not issue any direct cards to either Messi or Sullivan, but he did send off Cavan Sullivan, his brother, and a teammate after a scuffle inside the penalty area.
