Messi's brother apologizes for his offensive remarks against Barcelona

Matthias Messi, brother of former Barcelona legend and current Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi, apologized after taking a swipe at Barcelona, claiming "no one knew" the club before the Argentina captain played there and ruling out a return to Camp Nou for the World Cup winner. Matias Messi answered questions from fans on his son's twitch account regarding Messi and Barca but the comments have since been removed. Matias Messi posted an apology on his Instagram account, saying: "I want to apologize for what I said on social media, I was just joking with my son and friends. How can I think like that about a club as great as Barcelona, which has given so much to my family and Leo. I want to say sorry to everyone, specifically to all Barcelona fans," he wrote.
ESPN contacted Lionel Messi's representatives and they have distanced themselves from Matias Messi's remarks, stating that "they are exclusively the individual and personal opinion of Matías, which does not have to be or coincide with that of Leo or that of other relatives, friends or people close to him." "Barcelona began to be known because of Messi because before, no one knew it, they knew [Real] Madrid... That they would [re]pay him like that is not good," 
"People didn't back him," Matias said. "People should have gone out on the streets and rallied for Laporta to leave and Messi to stay. "There [in Spain] they do nothing, they are all traitors." Matias Messi said.
Matthias Messi was an attack on Barca, saying, "Barcelona became known because of Messi. No one knew this club. The well-known is Real Madrid."
He added, "Anyone who has had the opportunity to go to Barcelona and see the museum can see that the museum is Messi. The club known to everyone is Real Madrid."
