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

    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.”

    With 37 minutes on the clock, tempers flared with a shoving match which saw Quakes defender Nathan and Cruz star Jonathan Rodriguez sent off.
    But after the pushing, one supporter in a blue t-shirt leapfrogged the advertising hoardings and made his way into the middle of the melee.
    He aimed a swing at San Jose midfielder Jack Skahan before goalkeeper Daniel Vega joined players from both teams in yanking the raging fan down.
    Chris Wondolowski – the MLS record goalscorer – helped by getting the attacker in a headlock.
    Security then jumped in to take control of the situation, escorting the fan away.

    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.

    INTER MIAMI striker Gonzalo Higuain has declared that the MLS outfit are keen to sign Lionel Messi in the future.But the 33-year-old has ruled out his Argentine compatriot departing Europe until at least 2023 following his summer switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

    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.”
    Pochettino says he is happy about Messi’s performance for PSG against Club Brugge More
