Lionel Messi (35), who recently caused controversy over unauthorized departure, bowed his head first to his team, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). It is a willingness to take any punishment. Messi posted a public apology video on his SNS on the 6th (Korean time) wearing a suit. In the video, Messi said with a serious expression, “As always, I thought there would be a day off following the game. I planned a trip to Saudi Arabia, but I mightn’t cancel it.” said.

On the 1st, Messi left for Saudi Arabia with his family following losing 1-3 once morest Lorient. The problem is that it was an action without the permission of the team. According to local French media such as Lequipe, PSG decided to train instead of rest following losing to Lorient, but Messi went ahead with the previously planned family trip.

The trip became even more controversial when it became known through reports in the Saudi Arabian media. Messi, who is currently serving as a public relations ambassador for Saudi Arabia, went on vacation and this process was vividly relayed. In response, PSG imposed a disciplinary action on Messi, excluding matches and training for the next two weeks. Of course, no salary is paid during that period.

First of all, it seems that the conflict with PSG has been sealed with Messi’s apology, but it is difficult to be certain that this relationship will continue into next season. British media BBC predicted Messi’s transfer this summer, saying, “Messi is not sure regarding Paris Saint-Germain’s rise to the top of Europe due to financial problems.”

Messi, who has recorded 15 goals and 15 assists in 28 matches in the league this season, is likely to look for a team that can advance to the UEFA Champions League.
