On the 4th, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that there was a huge uproar, with spectators demanding a refund after Messi remained on the bench until the end of the game against the Hong Kong professional soccer all-star team. Messi, who recently injured his hamstring, stretched during open training the day before and only stayed on the bench during today's game. For this reason, the audience's complaints grew louder during the game, and the booing reached its peak in the last 10 minutes.
After the game, Miami team owner David Beckham stood on the podium to say thank you, but the crowd did not stop booing and shouted, “Refund, refund.” The booing continued despite the remarks made by high-ranking officials, and some spectators stormed into the stadium in protest.
The media reported that some fans came from overseas for the 'Messi Tour' that day, and among them, there were fans who came from Korea to watch Messi play before retirement. The media explained, "The 40,000 spectators who entered the stadium and paid up to 4,880 Hong Kong dollars (about 840,000 won) to see Messi had to go home after only seeing him caressing his leg (on the bench)." After the game, angry spectators showed extreme behavior, such as kicking Messi's head off in the middle of the promotional panel.
Previously, tickets for this game were sold out within an hour of online sales starting last December. Ticket prices range from 880 to 4,880 Hong Kong dollars (about 160,000 to 840,000 won). However, in December of last year, the organizers announced that even if Messi was absent, ticket costs would not be refunded, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to actually receive a refund.
