Leo Messi’s brother, Mathias, caused a storm yesterday following his remarks against Barcelona and its management, and now he published an apology message on his Instagram account: “I want to clarify myself regarding what I said on social media, I was just joking with my son and friends.”
As I recall, yesterday Mathias said: “We are not returning to Barcelona, and if we are, we are going to clean up, including kicking Laporte out.” Now he claims: “How will I think such things about a big club like Barcelona and its history, which has given a lot to my family and to Leo?”.
In addition, he claimed that the Barcelona fans did not support his brother Leo enough, and even called them traitors, and now comes the apology: “For us, Catalonia is our second home and that is a well-known fact. I am very sorry and I apologize to everyone, especially the Barcelona fans.”
Meanwhile, it is not clear if Mathias’ statements and apology were on the mind of Leo, who will terminate his contract at the end of the season. According to the latest reports, it seems that the new world champion is expected to sign a new one in Paris Saint-Germain, this alongside the desire in Catalonia to see the greatest player in the club’s history return.
