Lionel Messi has once again made critical comments about his former club.
It must be believed that Lionel Messi definitely has very bitter memories of his two years spent in the City of Lights. While he has been splashing American fans with all his talent since his arrival at Inter Miami this summer, the Argentine world champion never misses the opportunity to express negative feelings towards Paris Saint-Germain.
After admitting that he had not been ” happy » in Paris, after having conceded that his arrival in France was “not not desired“, the seven-time Ballon d’Or returned to an episode that stuck in his throat: his return from Qatar after his world title.
Messi still spits on PSG
Lionel Messi was not celebrated by Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes, although the capital club reserved a guard of honor for him at Camp des Loges, its training center at the time. An insufficient mark of recognition in the eyes of the principal concerned. In an interview with the media Olga, Messi revealed his thoughts. “ I was the only player on our Argentina team not to have been recognized as a world champion by his club“, thundered Messi, without even mentioning PSG.
The context, in Paris, was quite unique since in addition to the poster for the final, which pitted Argentina against the French team in a match with an epic scenario, Messi had also participated in celebrations alongside his teammate Emiliano Martinez, who violently provoked Kylian Mbappé. Paris Saint-Germain therefore chose not to celebrate the star so as not to expose him to potential whistles, in a Parc des Princes where Messi did not have a high popularity rating.
