On May 12, in an MLS match, Lionel Messi scored but Inter Miami suffered a heavy 1-4 away defeat to Minnesota United.
After the game, Minnesota United's official social media account posted a graphic showing their position surpassing Inter Miami in the standings, with the caption: “The fake pink club.”
David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami, responded in the comments: “Show some respect. Stay classy in victory.”
Minnesota United followed up with another post showing a fan banner that read: “History over hype. Culture over cash,” along with the caption: “49 years and still going.”
Beckham replied again in the comments: “Respect above all.”
