Lionel Messi breaks the silence. A few days later his trip to Saudi Arabia earlier this week, decided without the agreement of the club, the Argentine star apologized on his Instagram account on Friday, May 5. In a short video posted on his social networks, the attacker apologizes for his absence, which he justifies by having thought that the players would have a day off. “I wanted to make this video after everything that’s going on. First of all, I want to apologize to my teammates and to the club. I honestly thought we had a free day after the game like the week before. I had this organized trip to Saudi Arabia, which had already been canceled before, and which I could not cancel.

At the end of the video, the seven-time Ballon d’Or indicates that he is awaiting Paris Saint-Germain’s decision regarding a probable sanction. “I repeat myself, I apologize for what I have done and I wait to see the decision of the club.”
