US EditionInter Miami’s Luis Suárez Apologizes for on-Field Antics After Leagues Cup Final Loss to Seattle
Luis Suarez expressed regret for spitting on a Seattle Sounders staff member after Inter Miami's 3-0 loss in the 2025 Leagues Cup final, prompting investigations by Major League Soccer and Leagues Cup officials.
- Luis Suárez apologized on Thursday after appearing to spit toward Seattle Sounders director of security Gene Ramirez following the Leagues Cup final at Lumen Field on Sunday.
- Suárez ignited a postgame melee shortly after the final whistle, sparking multiple scuffles and pushes between both teams' players and staff before medal ceremonies.
