PSG celebrates the club's goalscoring record with Kylian Mbappe (from PSG's official website)
For the first time since he was suspended by Paris Saint-Germain for two weeks, Lionel Messi published this evening (Friday) a reference to his trip to Saudi Arabia, which resulted in the heavy punishment from the team.
As you may remember, the Argentinian arrived in Riyadh this week as part of a sponsorship agreement without receiving approval for it, and was severely punished.
In the days that followed, the team's fans demonstrated in front of the club's offices, among other things, against the star, and the security around his home was increased.
In a message posted by Messi on his Instagram account, he said: "I thought we would get a day off the day after a game, as always. I planned this trip in advance and I couldn't cancel it, I already canceled it before. I apologize to my teammates and I'm waiting to hear how the club intends to act about me."
Messi's message
The travel and suspension affair is a direct continuation of the murky relationship between Messi and the club and his disappointing tenure in the City of Lights.
As you know, the Argentinian ends his contract this summer in the French capital, and all estimates indicate that as part of the facelift the team will undergo, he will leave the club.
Barcelona is making great efforts to bring him back to Camp Nou after two years, with Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia also chasing him with an official offer of $400 million per season.
