Jijantes FC alleged that Messi had a conversation with Laporta following his eighth Ballon d’Or win, during which they discussed the ideal date for a tribute to the Camp Nou icon, as mentioned in his victory speech.
Nevertheless, Messi has contradicted these assertions by sharing a screenshot of the story on Instagram with the caption: “you lie once again”.
The journalist responsible for the article, Gerard Romero, swiftly issued an apology on X after Messi’s denial, expressing, “A THOUSAND APOLOGIES to all, and A THOUSAND MORE. I have been fooled again with something related to LEO. I’m not learning. I’m sorry. VERY f***ed up. I accept everything you tell me today and I promise that we will work to ensure that it does not happen again,”
It remains uncertain whether Messi will accept the apology, as he takes a break from the field. Inter Miami’s season concluded early due to their absence from the MLS playoffs, and he won’t be in action until Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil next month.
