Lionel Messi appears to HEADBUTT Club World Cup opponent as tempers flare in Inter Miami's opening match
LIONEL MESSI appeared to headbutt an Al-Ahly star as tempers flared during the Club World Cup opener. Inter Miami were held to a goalless draw by the Egyptian side in the early hours of Sunday morning. 4 4 The revamped 32-team tournament held in the US got off to a fiery start and Messi was at the centre of the controversy. Inter Miami had a corner in the second-half and the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner waited in the box. But before the ball came in, Messi lost his cool after something was seemingly said by Al-Ahly defender Yasser Ibrahim. The pair then walked towards each other and squared up. Messi appeared to deliberately knock his head into Ibrahim as they stood face-to-face before they were separated by team-mates. Both players went unpunished and VAR did not review the incident. Fans were left shocked, with one saying: "Messi is shameless." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS But others disagreed, writing: "He puts his head forward into Messi - Messi was just acting in self defence after he was headbutted first." It came during an ill-tempered match that saw five bookings, including ones for both Messi's old Barcelona pals Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez. Group A is finely poised after Palmeiras and Porto also played out a 0-0 draw last night. Inter Miami face the Portuguese side next on Thursday night. 4 4

Trump fails to address Minnesota shootings in lengthy late-night rant about ‘illegal aliens' and transgender people
President Trump once again failed to address the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers during a lengthy Truth Social post on Sunday night. Trump, who is set to arrive Monday in Canada's Rocky Mountains for the annual G7 summit, instead expressed concerns on other matters, including immigration raids and transgender athletes in elite sports. 'These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. 'That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women's Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role' he wrote. Trump also said that 'efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens' across American cities would be expanded despite violent protests occurring across the nation in the past week, and millions taking part in the 'No Kings' protests on Saturday. His message came around the same time that Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris' former running mate, Tim Walz, confirmed the arrest of shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter, 57. Boelter's arrest Sunday night came after the largest manhunt in Minnesota history following the fatal shootings of Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota House, and her husband, Mark. Walz said the gunman, who was impersonating a police officer, had a list of possible targets. Authorities say that Boelter allegedly shot another Democratic lawmaker and their spouse, state Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, at their home. Trump, however, has not posted a formal statement since his original message on Saturday. 'I have been briefed on the terrible shooting that took place in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack against State Lawmakers. Our Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the FBI, are investigating the situation, and they will be prosecuting anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law. Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!' he said after the deadly attack. Instead, Trump's attention has been focused on the Israel-Iran conflict over the weekend. Trump absolved the U.S. from any accountability relating to the attacks, which have already killed dozens in both nations. 'The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!' he said Sunday, following a series of Israeli missile strikes that targeted Tehran.
