The former French player Jérôme Rothen was very critical of Neymar and Messi and blamed them for the defeat against Real Madrid. He attacked the Brazilian and the Argentine in a very forceful way and was very clear in his analysis for RMC Sport: “Those responsible for this defeat are Neymar and Messi! It is up to them to assume their responsibilities. When Leonardo recruits these boys and puts them to everyone up there, they are the legends of the club. They get paid for it. I don’t attack Verratti, Danilo, Paredes, Mbappé. He is the only one who has been dangerous in both games“.
“I’m attacking the other two, the two mercenaries! Among one who has been a fraud since he arrived. I’m ashamed to talk about Leo Messi like that, but that’s the reality. The guy walks on the pitch. They told me he was he struggled to reach the ball to retrieve it. Are you laughing in my face or what? He made 10-meter efforts. The other (Neymar) lost all the balls, I say the other because it bothers me a lot to mention his name. Since it’s been there, it’s been a mess. This is less than 50% of the games at PSG. Messi, stop! Neymar, stop! The problem is there. It’s the great players who stick their heads out of the water.”
noah breaks out
Yannick Noah did not have his best night as a Paris Saint-Germain fan. The Parisian club arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu with a 0-1 first-leg lead and Mbappé extended the lead to 0-2, but a Karim Benzema hat-trick turned the tie around in less than half an hour during the second half. Thus, PSG left again earlier than expected in the round of 16.
The former tennis player, champion of Roland Garros in 1984 by beating Mats Wilander in three sets, showed his anger without cutting himself on social networks. He recorded a story for Instagram screaming and showing significant anger. “I’m sick of this team that always loses,” he said.
Now residing in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Yannick Noah seemed to spend a night distracted from football as he shared in stories celebrating a women’s beauty pageant in ‘Village Noah’.
French tennis legend
Noah still maintains that he was the last Frenchman to have won Roland Garros and had a remarkable tennis career between the early 1980s and 1990s. He retired with another Roland Garros in doubles and another in mixed doubles. In this specialty she became number one in the ranking. In the individual, his top was the three in the world.
Individually, he won up to 22 more titles in addition to the only individual Grand Slam of his career. Once retired, he pursued various passions, including music, and also enjoyed his son’s NBA career, Joakim Noah.
