Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi has apologized for not attending the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony in USA.

I am honored to receive this recognition. It is an immense privilege and I am deeply grateful for it. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment and will not be able to attend the ceremony at the White House on January 4. However, I want you to know that I truly appreciate this gesture.
At the same time, the Argentine admitted the possibility of accepting the award at some point upon his return to Argentina. USA. The invitation came to the player in late December, when the striker had already planned his vacation.
