The Hong Kong Government released a statement a few hours ago to express its discontent. “One of the main conditions of our financing agreement with Tatler Asia was that Messi participate in the match for at least 45 minutes.”

“Therefore, we immediately asked them to explore other solutions, such as Messi's presence on the pitch to interact with his fans and collect the trophy. Unfortunately, as everyone saw, this did not happen,” said the Minister of Tourism, Sports and Culture, Kevin Yeung. Now the fulfillment of the contract is up in the air because none of that happened.

Lionel Messi has already apologized:

“It was bad luck that I couldn't be there, I felt discomfort in the adductor in Arabia. The MRI had shown that he had edema, but no injury. I tried to try the next one. I missed the last game in Hong Kong due to some muscle discomfort, it's a shame. I really wanted to play, and even more so because a lot of people came. It was so far away and people were so excited… but this is part of the game.”
