Lionel Messi’s outings in the media after his departure from PSG were hardly to the Parisian president’s taste.
Lionel Messi’s adventure at PSG ended in bitterness. And this for both parties. The now eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was not kind to the capital club when looking back on his two years spent in Paris. Statements not taken well by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
“ Messi? I want to say one thing. The best player in history. It’s not easy for him to become here after all his life in Barcelona. When he comes here, it’s not the same thing. We had Kylian, Neymar… I have great respect for him but to speak badly of PSG after that is not good, it is a lack of respect. Win against Kylian and the French. You have to respect that but he’s not a bad guy. For Messi or anyone, I want people to speak when they are there, not when they are no longer there,” he confided during a long interview with RMC Sport.
