Lionel Messi had a water bottle thrown at him after Inter Miami’s defeat of LAFC on Sunday night, video shows.<\/p>\n
Messi, who had two assists in the 3-1 win, was walking off the field at BMO Stadium alongside his bodyguard when the object was thrown in his direction and splashed.<\/p>\n
The bottle missed the World Cup winner, who could be seen flinching as his bodyguard looked alarmed as well.<\/p>\n
Mail Sport has reached out to MLS for further information regarding the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Minutes before in 73rd minute, Messi was rushed by a field invader.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi was barely missed by a flying water bottle on Sunday night at BMO Stadium<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A field invader also attempted to hug Lionel Messi during Inter Miami’s win on Sunday night\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fan, who wore a Barcelona jersey, successfully made it as far as the forward and even managed to begin to wrap his arms around him in an attempt to hug the soccer superstar.<\/p>\n
However, the supporter was quickly pried off Messi by his bodyguard, who had sprinted onto the field to protect his client.<\/p>\n
The fan was then passed off to stadium security.<\/p>\n
Messi was ultimately not distracted by the incident as he added his second assist of the night to Leo Campana in the 83rd minute.<\/p>\n
He also supplied Jordi Alba for the full-back’s first Miami goal in the 51st minute with a perfectly weighted through ball.<\/p>\n
Miami, still eight points out of the Eastern Conference’s final play-in spot with nine games to go, will face Sporting KC on Saturday at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
