Vacations are expensive, but when you’re Lionel Messi, vacations are a bit too hefty, not the way you’re thinking! The football legend who was recently spotted having fun with his family in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was suspended by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a football club.
For leaving without PSG’s consent to visit Saudi Arabia, Messi will miss the next two games and be fined two weeks’ salary. Due to Messi’s unauthorised personal promotional trip to Saudi Arabia, the club punished him.
After twice cancelling a planned business trip to the nation due to team losses, Messi is required to ask PSG for permission before leaving. However, the footballer was denied permission and was suspended the day after meetings between the club’s administrators.
Messi will now miss the upcoming Ligue 1 matches against Troyes and Ajaccio, although, he could return to play against Auxerre on May 21. The FIFA World Cup winner is in the final months of a two-year deal with the Ligue 1 leaders.
Recently, the 35-year-old crowned his glittering career with the one trophy that was missing as he gave a performance that went down in FIFA history. Messi led his country to an epic victory over defending champions France in the FIFA World Cup final in Qatar.
