Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano said he has given little importance to Lionel Messi's provocative celebration following his goal against Club América on Saturday, before claiming that Liga MX teams have always been "hostile" against Argentinians.

Messi incited the Club América fan base attending the friendly at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas after scoring in the 34th minute and making a "3-0" hand gesture in reference to Argentina's three World Cup victories against Mexico's zero.
