46 days after the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, any situation can generate uncertainty in the world of football, even more so when it comes to Lionel Messi. Rosario’s man contributed with a great goal this Wednesday for PSG, who drew on their trip to Benfica in Portugal for the Champions League, but it was more news on what happened at the end of the match. That is the captain of the Argentine national team asked for the change with 10 minutes left and, immediately, he retired to the locker room accompanied by a member of the medical staff of the Parisian team.
In the official broadcast no detail was seen in which an injury could have occurred, but leaving the field of play he exchanged a few words with the coach Christophe Galtier – with his mouth covered by his hands -, also with one of his collaborators and, immediately, he was surrounded by multiple staff members when sitting on the substitutes’ bench.
The uncertainty grew when Messi went straight to the locker room accompanied by a member of the medical staff, so repercussions and an update from the club or Galtier himself are expected.
And it was the coach who restored calm in the statements to RMCSport: “Messi’s departure? He nodded saying he wanted to leave. He felt tired in the last action. He left because he was tired and a fresh teammate was much more interesting at that moment.”.
