Lionel Messi apologized to his teammates and PSG management

On the verge of leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Messi has been suspended by the club following his escapades in Saudi Arabia.

In addition, the fans strongly protested against him and threatened to continue to challenge him in future matches.

The Argentine gave the first reaction after the incidents, in which he apologized to his colleagues and the club’s management and explained the reasons why he could not postpone the trip.

“I decided to make a video because of what happened. I apologize to my colleagues and the club. I thought we would have the day off after the game like we always do.

I booked this flight and couldn’t cancel it because I already canceled it before.

Once again, I apologize and await the club’s decision,” Messi announced in the video.

If the decision is not overturned, the Argentina captain will miss the games against Troyes and Ajaccio and will return on May 21 against Auxerre.
