Not many individuals would dare to insult Lionel Messi, but Luis Suarez found it necessary to do so following his behavior during Inter Miami training.
After establishing a remarkable partnership during their Barcelona days, the duo has reunited at David Beckham’s franchise.

Inter is currently gearing up for their inaugural game of the new MLS season on February 22, having engaged in pre-season matches against the El Salvador national team and FC Dallas.
Their upcoming challenge involves a tour of Saudi Arabia, where they will face Al Hilal and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr. Despite this, the players continue their rigorous training under the guidance of manager Gerardo Martino.
Suarez, however, had to undergo a rather harsh initiation that led him to confront his longtime friend Messi.
The former Liverpool and Atletico Madrid striker had to dash past all his teammates while enduring neck slaps from them.
Messi, positioned at the very end, didn’t hold back and delivered a robust hit on his friend.

In the captured footage, Suarez expressed his displeasure at the force with which Messi struck him.
Emerging from the slap attack, a visibly irritated Suarez questioned the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner: “Since when have you been throwing punches in the hallways, idiot?”
Messi and Suarez showcased their connection at the Cotton Bowl on Monday, though concerns arose about the low attendance despite the presence of these football superstars.
The only goal of the game, scored by Jesus Ferreira three minutes in, earned attention, but Messi also made headlines for attempting an ‘Olimpico’ goal directly from a corner.
Using his skillful left foot, Messi curled the ball from the right, nearly catching goalkeeper Maarten Paes off guard.
The next challenge for Messi and Inter is against Al Hilal in Riyadh on Monday, followed by the anticipated showdown with Ronaldo and Al Nassr on February 1.
However, uncertainties loom over the latter match due to concerns about Al Nassr canceling their tour of China following an injury to their star player.
