Matías Messi, one of the brothers of Argentine star Lionel Messi, apologized on Thursday for the criticism he made of Barca and its fans on Wednesday, in which he said the PSG player will not return to the Catalan club.
“I want to justify myself for what I said on social media, I was just having fun with my son and friends,” wrote Matías Messi on his Instagram account.
“How am I going to think that about a club as big as Barcelona and its history, which has given so much to my family and Leo,” he added.
Lionel Messi’s brother had declared in a live broadcast on the Twitch network account Labajada10 that “we are not going back” to Barcelona.
However, the star’s own brother said that, for a possible return, it would be necessary “to do a good cleaning. Among other measures, we would send away (the president) Joan Laporta, who proved to be ungrateful, with everything that Messi gave to Barcelona “, said Mathias.
Last November, Laporta admitted about Messi’s departure from Barcelona: ““I didn’t solve it well institutionally, but institutionally it wasn’t easy either… He knows that Barcelona is his home and we love him very much”.
In his barrage of criticism, Messi’s brother included the Catalans themselves: “The people did not support him, the people should have come out to demonstrate. Let Laporta go embra and Messi stay. The Catalans are traitors.”
On Instagram, Matías Messi stated that “for us, Catalonia is our second home and that is public knowledge. I am very sorry and I apologize to everyone, especially to the Barcelona fans”.
