  1. This is a complete deception,Beckham and Messi are liars. Moreover, Messi not only did not play,but also had his hands in his pockets throughout the game. His arrogance made all Chinese people angry!

  2. See Asian fans are smart. They boycott when they know they got scammed.

  3. this will make messi a balon d’or winner next year’s awarding..

  4. I don’t think messi is gonna go to hk anymore

  5. The performance of Messi in HK only shows he is lack of basic manners.

  6. I bought it,scam… RONALDO FOREVER

  7. Bro wasn’t even playing dude☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

  8. He is a proud and arrogant Argentinian player who discriminates against Hong Kong people

  9. Imagine paying that much money to see some dude kicking ball around, dayem people have way to much money

  10. I support Hongkong fans! !!

  11. This is so bad to the fans

  12. 😂😂😂Beckham said thank you hk for your big red pockets 600$*40000?

  13. Just read the news and you would know he’s been injured and not playing too much in PRESEASON, people are stupid

  14. Tatler CEO Michel Lamunière should go to jail for scams

  15. He did it on purpose to embarrass the communist authority!!!

    Hong Kong government thought bringing in big names can revive Hong Kong economy. No!

    What they need is to respect human rights!!!

    To honor promises to Hong Kong people.
