PARIS: Lionel Messi apologized to Paris Saint-Germain and his teammates on Friday for going to Saudi Arabia on an unauthorized trip that resulted in his suspension.

Messi posted a short video on Instagram to ask for forgiveness and chalk up the controversy to a scheduling misunderstanding.

He missed practice on Monday while he was on a promotional trip to Saudi Arabia, and a day later the French club announced they suspended the World Cup winner.

Messi said he thought the team had Monday off. “Hello, I wanted to make this video about what is happening. First of all, ask for forgiveness from my teammates and the club.
