Messi is not going through a good moment, self-absorbed since the defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu. Yesterday, booed by his own fans, confirmed that he has neither the credit nor the same privileges as in his time in Barcelona. PSG decided to base their project on the foundations of the trident and the strategy has failed. Despite his discreet performance, the Argentine still retains the respect and admiration of teammates and coaches.
Many are those who share the anger at the whistles that Messi received yesterday in the Parc des Princes. Also his outrage at the insults against Neymar: “”As always, football without memory. Always with you. I love you very much”, Luis Suárez wrote on his social networks. The Uruguayan, a close friend of both, shouted to the sky after the complicated afternoon that his two teammates lived against Girondins de Bordeaux.
Gary Lineker also wanted to participate in the debate of these last few hours. The former Barça player, popular as a presenter in England, resorted to a vomiting emoticon to summarize his opinion about the treatment Messi and Neymar received on their own pitch, without the respect due to two footballers who are now in the point of view. A radical contrast with Mbappé, whom the PSG fans did not stop applauding throughout the match.
The whistles to Messi also reached Argentina. Asked about the unpleasant afternoon that his compatriot had to endure, Marcelo Gallardo was sincere in his reflection: “We also mistreated him. Let’s not play patriots. Remember. Let’s have memory. I do not agree or share it, but in this world nothing catches my attention, “said the River Plate coach, another of those who supported Messi in his most difficult stage in Paris.
