Messi laughed wildly, joked with Alba, shook hands with opponents, exchanged jerseys and left the field

Gregory missed a penalty to send Inter Miami to a penalty shoot-out defeat to Vissel Kobe. Despite not playing in the shoot-out, Taylor missed two penalties to make Messi laugh.

Within 90 minutes, the two teams exchanged scores, and the game went to a penalty shootout. Perhaps it was too relaxed, and the quality of the penalties for both teams was not high. Hotaru Yamaguchi kicked it away, Ryo Hatsuse also missed a penalty, and then Taylor, who came on, took a weak penalty and was blocked by the goalkeeper.

However, the referee awarded the goalkeeper an early move and Taylor was given another chance to take the penalty, this time Taylor opted to blast over the crossbar. Seeing this, Messi laughed and joked with Alba.

Gregory's penalty in sixth appearance was blocked by the opposition goalkeeper and Inter Miami eventually lost the penalty shootout. Despite the fact that six players took penalties one after another, Messi did not play.

After the game, Messi shook hands with the referee and the opponent players one by one, and was not affected by the previous controversy. After exchanging players with the opposing players, Messi returned to the players' dressing room and waved to the fans.
