Lionel Messi was set to receive a prestigious award in the United States… but he was a no-show.
With Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has revolutionized Major League Soccer. This contribution earned him the honor of being awarded the country’s highest civilian distinction: the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Lionel Messi did not attend the ceremony. Even more astonishing, no one was present to represent him or accept the medal on his behalf.
The event was graced by high-profile figures such as Magic Johnson, Hillary Clinton, Bono, Jane Goodall, Denzel Washington, and Michael J. Fox, who were there to receive their honors.
