Lionel Messi appeared far from "very upset," while watching his Inter Miami teammates from an on-field suite in his one-game absence for skipping the MLS All-Star Game.

Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami team-mate Jordi Alba have been given one-match bans for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game earlier this week.

“Per league rules, any player who does not participate in the All-Star Game without prior approval from the league is ineligible to compete in their club’s next match,” MLS said in a statement.
