After commenting about the time at Barcelona and criticizing Juan Laporta publicly through a twitch live stream, Leo Messi’s brother Matias came out to ask for apologies.
Lionel Messi departed from Barcelona back in 2021 after the Blaugrana failed to register him to the squad with La Liga financial fair play regulations were the obstacles.

But Matias believed the board should have acted otherwise as they should let Laporta go and Messi to stay with the club and later slammed the Barcelona President.
However, after the news went viral, the Argentine felt he shouldn’t have said that and came up with an apology.
“I want to apologize for what I said on social networks: I was just making jokes with my son and my friends. How am I going to think that of a club as big as Barcelona and their history, which has given a lot both to my family and Leo?” Lionel Messi’s brother Matias wrote on Instagram.

“For us, Catalonia is our second home and that is well known. I’m very sorry and I apologize to everyone, especially the Barcelona fans. Finally, I want to say that I’m only on the Instagram social network,” he added.
Messi is Barcelona’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing the previous record-holder, Cesar Rodriguez, in March 2012 and the Argentine little magician has won the Pichichi Trophy (awarded to La Liga’s top scorer) a record 7 times.
Messi scored the most Goals in a Calendar Year after netting 91 goals for Barcelona in 2012, breaking the previous record held by Gerd Muller. The World Cup winner also holds the record for most goals scored in a single season with 73 in 2011-2012.

Messi has a long-lasting love for the Catalonia club and he would never like the words that his brother Matias told in front of the live stream.
Barcelona board was quick to remind Matias that without the club and without Lionel Messi where he would have been as the brother of Messi understands the scenario and seeks an apology.
