The Argentine star was widely criticized for going to Saudi Arabia on vacation. 

Lionel Messi is the best player in the world and for many soccer fans he is the greatest of all time. In that context he has prevailed at the top of this sport for almost 20 years. In this way he managed to win dozens of individual titles and awards. In the same way, the genius from Rosario won many trophies everywhere he played, but he was only not loved and was highly criticized by Paris Saint Germain.

The story about Messi's trip to Saudi Arabia is already known to everyone. PSG used to give the squad a day off after each game. In this context, the star born in Argentina decided to undertake a commercial agreement he had with the Middle Eastern country and traveled there. What happened in between? The team from the French capital lost and coach Christophe Galtier decided that the entire team had to go to training anyway. In that context, Leo could not do so due to the already scheduled trip.

On that occasion, the PSG board of directors decided to sanction the best player in the world, imposing two weeks without the possibility of playing and training. It was finally canceled after 7 days but it still put a stain on his usual impeccable behavior. Without a doubt, the Argentine star always maintained his professionalism to the maximum, to the point of being very notable for it. However, he later had to apologize in a video on his social networks.

What PSG did after Mbappé left amid a bad result

Lionel Messi had been harshly punished at the time. However, on this occasion the player Kylian Mbappé went to party with other members of the PSG squad. However, the French institution decided not to impose any type of sanction even though the team had just lost. Evidently, it became clear that they had something personal against the Argentine genius.
