Lionel Messi apologized to Paris Saint-Germain and his teammates after taking an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia and missing training.
“I wanted to make this video after everything that’s been happening,” Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain said in an Instagram story. “First of all, I want to apologize to my teammates and the club. “I sincerely thought we would have a free day after the match [against Lorient], as had happened in previous weeks.” Messi was suspended by PSG for two weeks after leaving France to attend promotional events following its 3-1 defeat to Lorient at the Parc de Princes on Sunday.
” Along with undated pictures of Messi relaxing with his family in the Gulf state, Ahmed Al Khateeb, the Minister of Tourism for Saudi Arabia, tweeted Monday: “I am happy to welcome #Messi and his family to Saudi to enjoy the magical tourist destinations and authentic experiences. “We welcome visitors from all around the world to experience a unique trip to Saudi Arabia and its hospitality.
