Messi did not play in the exhibition match: the SAR government expressed "extreme disappointment" one after another and the organizer closed the door to thank guests. The handling methods of the organizers and Inter Miami failed to respond to the expectations of a group of fans who enthusiastically support Messi.

Many Hong Kong fans were eagerly looking forward to it, and many tourists came to Hong Kong to watch it. The Hong Kong SAR government has cooperated with the organizer Tatler this time. This is a highly highly publicized event and the government has provided some coordination and assistance.
