The opening round of Major League Soccer fixtures saw Lionel Messi make an important impact on the pitch, but his actions after the full-time whistle have come under scrutiny

Inter Miami CF players Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez have been fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Soccer for violating the "hands to the face/head/neck of an opponent" rule during the team's season-opening MLS match Saturday.

Messi was captured on video arguing with head referee Alexis Da Silva and then being aggressive toward NYCFC assistant Mehdi Ballouchy before leaving the pitch, even putting his hand on the back of Ballouchy’s neck.
