Lionel Messi has been trolled by Atlanta United after missing Inter Miami's 5-2 defeat, with his bizarre pizza choice being mocked by their rivals.

  • Atlanta thumped Inter Miami
  • Messi absent from the squad
  • Pizza choice referenced in trolling tweet

WHAT HAPPENED? Atlanta thumped Inter Miami, thanks to goals from Tristan Muyumba, Brooks Lennon, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Tyler Wolff, as well as an own goal from Kamal Miller. Making reference to a bizarre pizza choice that Messi made - a base covered with chopped tomatoes, onions and olives - Atlanta posted that they had chosen a rather familiar meal for their journey back from the game.
