Lionel Messi Finally Makes an apology After Being Suspended By PSG.

After receiving a fine for traveling to Saudi Arabia earlier this week without permission and skipping a training session as a result, Lionel Messi apologized to Paris St. Germain and his teammates on Friday.

The World Cup-winning captain of Argentina allegedly received a two-week suspension from PSG after leaving without their consent to travel to Saudi Arabia the day following the Ligue 1 leaders' 3-1 home loss to Lorient in order to fulfill obligations under a contract with the country's tourism authority. He was meant to workout with the team that day.

“I sincerely believed that I would have the day off after the game as had been happening in previous weeks. I had this excursion organised and I couldn’t rescind it, I had already cancelled it before,” Messi said in a video posted on Instagram to his 458 million followers.

“I apologise to my teammates and I’m waiting for what the club wants to do with me,” added the Argentina forward.
