A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. But, in this case, it takes on much more importance. Is that this Thursday afternoon, various French media announced that the star Lionel Messi is suffering from a muscle ache which puts a question mark on his presence with the Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of Champions League which starts next Tuesday.
The information, which he published The Team and reinforced RMC Sportsensures that Messi has “a hamstring injury”. This would force him to rest in next Saturday’s match against Monaco in Ligue 1 and keep him in doubt for the first leg of the Champions League.
The moment of annoyance would have been in the final minutes of the defeat against Olympic Marseille for the Coupe de France, when he had several chances to cross into the box and always chose a pass wide, staying on the pitch knowing it was one of his last chances to reach penalties.
