JAKARTA - The 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeat from Lorient was accompanied by unpleasant news. Their star player, Lionel Messi, is said to be desperate to go to Saudi Arabia even though he did not have permission from the team.

Reportedly, Messi's departure to Saudi Arabia was for work purposes. Messi left for the Middle East Country in cooperation as a tourism ambassador.

French media reported L'Equipe was quoted as saying on Tuesday, May 2, it turns out that the Argentine's departure did not get permission from PSG coach Christophe Galtier and Director Luis Campos.

However, La Pulga insisted on going to Saudi Arabia after he felt he had obtained permission from the management of Les Parisiens.

Previously, Galtier promised time off for Kylian Mbappe et al for two days on Monday and Tuesday. The coach will keep the Namin if the team manages to beat Lorient.

But in reality it is inversely proportional. PSG lost and made all players only get one day off on Tuesday, while on Monday they were asked to train at 11.00 local time.

It was at this exercise moment that La Pulga was determined to leave the training center at Camp des Loges.

Arriving in Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi uploaded a photo with his family and praised the country. Messi's arrival was also welcomed by Saudi Arabian Tourism Minister Ahmed Al Khateeb.

Arriving in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Messi also immediately gave praise as high as the sky for the beauty of the country.

"Who thought Saudi Arabia had so much green color? I like to explore unexpected wonders whenever I can," said Messi, quoted from his Instagram account.
