Old superstar Luis Suarez (38, Inter Miami), famous for his 'nuclear teeth', has been at the center of the controversy over spitting.
Miami, which includes Suarez and Lionel Messi, missed the championship by losing 0-3 to the Seattle Sounders in the 2025 League Cup final at Lumen Field in Seattle on the 1st (Korea time).
Miami, which allowed Osaze de Rosario to score the first goal in the 26th minute of the first half, dedicated an additional goal to Alex Roldan on a penalty kick in the 39th minute of the second half, and allowed Paul Rothrock to score a net in the 44th minute of the second half. Miami, where Suarez, Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Rodrigo de Paul played full-time, lost helplessly without shooting a single effective shot.

After the game, the atmosphere of the stadium was overheated. According to local media reports, Suarez, who seemed upset by the defeat, took the fight to Seattle players and staff. When Suarez hit Seattle midfielder Obed Vargas with a headlock, players from both teams flocked and the situation unfolded.
Suarez was caught on video spitting into a guard's face during an argument with Seattle players. Seattle took the podium and lifted the trophy after things calmed down. Seattle, the 2022 North American Football Confederation Champions League winner, has become the first team to win all possible trophies in North America, following the MLS and MLS Cups.
Miami, with Messi at the forefront, won the 2023 League Cup by beating Nashville after a penalty shootout. Suárez joined Miami in 2024 to play with 'best friend' Messi and has played 76 games so far, scoring 38 goals.
