[HIGHLIGHTS] Lionel Messi's apologies to his fans in Hong Kong for his absence in a friendly: "Many false things were said"

Lionel Messi apologizes to his fans in Hong Kong for his absence in a friendly. The Argentine star recorded a video in which he explained what happened during the tour of Asia.

"The truth is that I couldn't play," he argued. Messi is 48 hours away from starting his first full season with Inter Miami in the MLS. The Florida team's passage through Asia is still something to talk about. The absence of the Argentine star in the friendly against a team from the First Division of Hong Kong caused anger.
