HONG KONG: Lionel Messi’s three days of adulation in Hong Kong ended in heartbreak for his fans as the Argentine did not take to the field in Inter Miami’s 4-1 win against a local League XI in a friendly played in front of a sellout crowd. Spectators chanted “refund” and the Hong Kong government said the organisers may face a reduction in funding after Messi stayed on the bench. The Major Sports Events Committee had granted 15 million Hong Kong dollars ($1.92 million) for the event along with a one million Hong Kong dollar grant for the venue. Reuters
