According to previous reports, Messi was punished by Paris Saint-Germain Club with suspension, suspension and pay suspension due to missing the team's 1-day training due to missing the team without permission to Saudi Arabia. Some analysts said that Messi's penalty this time may be related to other reasons such as contract renewal.

According to foreign media reports, after the incident, due to dissatisfaction with players such as Messi and the current situation of the club, some Paris Saint-Germain fans organized protests, asking Messi and another star Neymar, who has also been caught in the storm of public opinion recently, to leave the club.

Messi posted a video of the apology through his personal social media. He explained that he thought he would get a day off after the game, as he had done in previous weeks, so he arranged a trip to Saudi Arabia and could not cancel it. Messi also revealed that he had previously cancelled the trip.

While apologising to his teammates and the club, Messi also said he would await further decisions from the club.

After Messi released a video of the relevant apology, some foreign media revealed that Paris Saint-Germain club president Nasser was satisfied with this. However, some analysts pointed out that this does not represent a breakthrough in the renewal negotiations between Messi and Paris Saint-Germain, but only provides the possibility for a "peaceful breakup" between the two sides.

Born in 1987, Messi became a member of the Barcelona Academy in 2000. He played 777 official games for Barcelona's first team, scoring 672 goals and helping the team win 35 trophies. During this period, Messi won the Ballon d'Or six times and broke a series of records, gradually growing into a football superstar.

In the summer of 2021, Messi failed to complete a contract extension with Barcelona. After joining Paris Saint-Germain, Messi formed a strong forward lineup with Neymar and Mbappe. However, in these two seasons, the team failed to complete the breakthrough in the most anticipated Champions League.

At the end of last year, Messi led Argentina to the World Cup title, and they beat France in the final.

Recently, foreign media have repeatedly pointed out that Messi will not renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain when his current contract is about to expire, and he is still looking forward to returning to Barcelona and is willing to take a significant salary cut for this. However, external analysts believe that due to the current poor financial situation of FC Barcelona, it is difficult for Messi to achieve his wishes. There are also reports that the club from Saudi Arabia is willing to offer Messi a sky-high salary, but returning to Barcelona is the latter's first choice. (End)
