In France they were not expecting Messi to say sorry.

Since Lionel Messi's arrival at PSG, the French press has shown clear resistance to the Argentine and has criticized him mercilessly on more than one occasion. Having arrived with the catalog of the best player in the world, the local media measured him with a different yardstick and had no qualms about scoring him below 4 after some significant defeats for the Parisian team.

However, after the public apology from the captain of the Argentine team, some French newspapers changed that face and spoke in favor of the 'Flea'. A clear example was that of RMC Sport, who was in charge of dispelling the rumors that Leo had made the publication at the request of PSG.

The aforementioned portal was clear and published: "Messi's apology video arises from the Argentine's personal initiative." Thus, another of the few episodes in which the French press comes to Lionel's defense to dispel the negative comments of the uninformed public around him is confirmed.

How much money will Lionel Messi lose after PSG's suspension?

Taking into account that the man from Rosario receives 30 million euros a year, the two weeks of punishment will mean a loss of 1.2 million. As it is public knowledge, in that period he will not be able to play games with the team either, so he would only be available to Galtier in three of the last five Ligue 1 duels.
