Disappointed fans ‘could be given partial refund over Lionel Messi no-show during Inter Miami friendly in Hong Kong’

Disappointed fans of Lionel Messi could be given a partial ticket refund as the Argentine football star remained on the bench during an Inter Miami friendly in Hong Kong, government sources said on Friday, after a lawmaker threatened to take the organiser to court amid mounting public pressure.

The Post learned that the government met organiser Tatler Asia on Friday morning. “It is highly likely that Tatler will announce a partial refund today,” one of the sources said.
