For the French (and especially for the Parisians) Lionel Messi is responsible for all evils. First, the reason why the French failed to win the two-time World Cup in Qatar 2023. Second: it is also targeted because PSG fails to achieve that obsession it intends to achieve with tons of dollars: the Champions League. For the French (media and some fans), Messi is responsible for the fact that in Paris they don’t have a World Cup or a European Championship.
Over the weekend, ultras Paris Saint-Germain drove Messi crazy when the voice of the stadium announced the presence of 30 in the starting lineup. It’s hard to figure it out fans of a club don’t want to have the best player in history in their team. “The French don’t know football,” Pipo Gorosito once described. An outburst that time seems to prove right.
The truth is that, in those days, Barcelona’s interest in Messi began to circulate officially and the fans, the ultras and the media seemed to open the door for him to leave the club.
Messi played 66 games for PSG and was the assists leader last year. In all, he made 31 passes to score and scored 31 times. He is the third highest paid player, behind Mbappé and Neymar. The French almost doubles the salary of South American stars.
Now, after the weekend’s defeat to Lyon, L’Equipe newspaper has once again caught up with the Argentine. This time he did it with a cartoon where Leo appears drawn with a sort of piercing that pierces his body. As they say in the neighborhood, turn it into a colander.
“Messi, deified in Argentina, has returned to PSG”, is the title of the cartoon signed by Soulcié, one of the cartoonists of the French media. The holed Lion says “oops, another fumble”.
Is that one of the major criticisms that Messi’s last appearance in the Parque de los Príncipes had was the amount of balls that Messi lost. In total there were 26. And L’Equipe gave a 3 to the Argentine’s last match.
