PSG celebrates the club's goalscoring record with Kylian Mbappe (from PSG's official website)
Lionel Messi officially apologized last night (Friday) for flying to Saudi Arabia without permission from Paris Saint-Germain, but even this apology did not calm the spirits.
Former player Jerome Rotten, who often visited the flea, went on the attack yesterday as well and said: "He made a mistake and simply does not acknowledge it. This means that Paris was right when it punished him. I am not the manager of the club, but my knowledge is simple: he is here Two years, is his investment on the field enough? The answer is no. Saint-Germain does not need him to win the French championship. Everyone knows that his contract will not be extended and he will leave, and that is how this adventure will end."
Rotten added: "It's sad, but the apology doesn't change anything. Did he apologize for his ability on the field? For the extent of his investment? For not knowing how to speak French, and not being interviewed by the French media? For not thanking the fans? He Left a bitter taste, said he was apologizing to his teammates and professional staff, not to the fans. I don't see why not postpone the trip. Find an excuse. What's your job? Make plays and get a big check, or play football and represent P.S. G. in the best way possible?"

Arturo Vidal, who worked with Messi in Barcelona, said about the boos the star receives in Paris: "It's crazy, these people are getting more and more crazy. You can't insult the best player in the world, just watch him play. OK, you didn't win the Champions League or the cup, But you lead the league. He's a world champion. He plays in all the games, never injured, top scorer along with Mbappe, top scorer. It's crazy that they attack the best of all, but apparently that's how people are."
Nantes coach Antoine Comboire also defended the flea: "I don't care what happens in Paris, all the problems on the grass, I love him. You must not touch him, no matter what he does. They attack this guy and it's shameful. If he leaves, I would be happy. We probably don't deserve him to be here. If Messi was my player, I would tell him - stay up, don't run, don't defend, but when the ball is in your possession, I want to see you having fun, shining."
In a message published 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."
