Argentinian striker Inter Miami Lionel Messi explained on his social networks why he could not take part in the scandalous match against Hong Kong stars.
“As I said before in the press conference, I am sorry that I could not play in the friendly match in Hong Kong due to a groin injury. My trauma was advanced and painful. Friends who know me will understand that I want to do my best in every match.
I hope I will still have the opportunity to visit Hong Kong and please the fans with my game,” Messi wrote.
On February 4, Hong Kong’s star team lost in a friendly match against Inter Miami with a score of 1:4. Since Lionel Messi, the star of the American team, remained on the bench, the spectators shouted their demands from the stands during the match and asked for the refund of their tickets. Inter Miami owner David Beckham was also booed after the match.
After playing for two years in the French PSG, Messi was transferred to Inter Miami in the summer of 2023. On August 20, the Argentinian won the League Cup, the first trophy in America. After 14 matches for Inter Miami, Messi scored 11 goals and 5 assists.
