Today, Lionel Messi explained why he couldn't play against Hong Kong, and although everyone in Miami was worried about his injury, Messi's message left more hope. “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.”

“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.”
