Hong Kong sports fans cannot forget last week's football matches.

On Sunday, the national team of this country competed in a friendly match against the Miami "Inter" team.

38,000 disappointed fans who flocked to the stadium were left disappointed - the legendary forward Lionel Messi did not appear in the ranks of the US club, later apologizing for the injury.

However, just three days later, the Argentinean played against the Japanese "Vissel Kobe" team.

Angry Hong Kong football fans poured out their frustration on social media, as some of them had paid around 4880 Hong Kong dollars (580 euros) for tickets.

Their outrage was also expressed by high-ranking politicians in the country.

"L. Messi should be banned from entering Hong Kong in the future. It's just disgusting to listen to his lies and hypocrisy.

We now hate L. Messi, Miami "Inter" and the corrupt hands leading them," said lawmaker Regina Ip.
