      Watch New York City star Jesus Medina get hit with a BEER CAN thrown from crowd in shameful MLS Final scenes

      by

      TWO fans were arrested after New York City winger Jesus Medina was hit by a beer can thrown from the crowd. The disgraceful incident took place during the MLS Cup Final on Saturday.

      Medina was left on the ground after being hit by a beer can thrown from the crowd
      The Paraguay star was checked over by medical staff after being hit by the object thrown by a fan late in the first half of the showpiece game.
      It happened as he ran to celebrate Taty Castellanos’s 41st-minute goal near the corner flag.
      Medina fell to the floor after the can appeared to hit his arm.
      And while the 24-year-old lay stricken on the floor, a second can was thrown at the group of players by Portland fans from high up in the stands.
      During the interval, the Timbers announced on Twitter that the fan who threw the object had been ejected from the game and banned from Providence Park.
      The tweet added: “There is zero tolerance for behavior of that kind.”

      by

      FORMER Manchester United winger Nani has showed off his incredible physique as he enjoys his time playing in the MLS.The 34-year-old, who spent seven successful seasons at Old Trafford between 2007 and 2014, arrived in the US two years ago with Orlando City.
      Nani, 34, remains in terrific shape despite nearing the end of his career

      He has scored 30 goals in 81 games for the American side and remains an integral part of their team.
      On Sunday, Nani played 81 minutes for Orlando as they saw off DC United 2-1 at their home ground, the Exploria Stadium.
      They went behind in the sixth minute when DC United man Julian Gressel gave the visitors the lead.
      But Robin Jansson equalised ten minutes later and then a stoppage time winner from Daryl Dike handed Orlando a dramatic victory.

      Prior to that, he had also enjoyed short spells with Fenerbahce, Valencia and Lazio.

      Messi penned an initial two-year deal at Parc des Princes, with the option of a further year.
      A move to America has long been speculated for the 2021 Copa America winner, with Higuain confirming that Inter president and co-owner David Beckham has ambitions plans for the club.
      Though he has been reluctant to state whether the Barcelona legend, who he played with at three consecutive World Cups, will join the team.
      Speaking to Goal, the ex-Chelsea loanee said: “I don’t want to get in trouble. I don’t know about Leo in Miami.
      “He signed for two years with PSG. The club wants it – we’ll see.”
      But should Messi link up with Miami, he won’t be playing alongside Higuain after the Real Madrid icon stated he plans to have a break after the 2022 season.

      He remarked: “I have another year on my contract, then I’ll take a sabbatical away from football and everything.”
      Messi is yet to score from his two PSG outings, with the player starting for the first time in the 1-1 away draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League.
      Following their disappointing result in Belgium, Michael Owen has claimed he believes PSG’s signing of Messi has made them WEAKER.
      He commented: “As much as we drool over them, this PSG team with those forwards, they’re all phenomenal players in their own right.
      Messi is reportedly earning £1,000,000-a-week at PSG
      “But three together makes it weaker for me and I don’t really understand why they’re one of the favourites for it [the Champions League].
      “I think the English teams [Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Man Utd] are far, far superior.
      “I almost feel as though the signing of the likes of [Gianluigi] Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos gives them more of a chance of winning it than the signing of someone like Messi.”

      Blackman has represented England at youth-team level and spent last season out on loan in the Championship with Rotherham.
      He made 28 appearances and kept 6 clean sheets for the Millers but could not prevent them from being relegated.

      Standing at 6ft 6in tall, Blackman makes for an imposing presence between the sticks and will compete with Pablo Sisniega and Tomas Romero for a starting role in LA.
      Blackman will play under former Swansea boss Bob Bradley at Banc of California Stadium.
      The Black and Gold have notched eight wins in 23 matches so far this season.
      They travel to Austin on Thursday, fresh from a narrow 3-2 victory over Real Salt Lake City on Monday night.
