Lionel Messi’s Apology
On Friday, Lionel Messi took to Instagram to apologize for his unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia that led to his suspension from his club, Paris Saint-Germain.
In his apology video, Messi said: “I want to apologize obviously to my teammates and to the club. What I did was wrong and irresponsible. I want to apologize to everyone who was affected by my decision, and I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout this ordeal.”
Details of Unauthorized Trip to Saudi Arabia
Messi was suspended by his Qatar-owned club after he failed to show up for training on Monday. His unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia came just days after PSG were knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City.
It is believed that Messi travelled to Saudi Arabia to take part in a football-related publicity event. Messi’s representatives had reportedly been in contact with the Saudi government for several weeks and the trip was kept a closely guarded secret.
Implications of Lionel Messi’s Trip
The unauthorised trip has had a number of implications, not least the fact that Messi is now facing a suspension from his club which could see him miss out on playing in some important upcoming games.
Moreover, the trip has been highly controversial, with many questioning why Messi was allowed to take part in a publicity event for a country that is accused of human rights abuses.
It remains to be seen how this will all play out, but one thing is for certain – Messi has a lot of work to do to repair the damage done by his unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia.
