Messi leaves PSG: there is nothing worse than a despised Qatari tycoon

HI, Until we meet againit’s another thing. The Messi era at PSG is overand it’s a relief for everyone, even for the fans of the French club if we let ourselves be guided by what a small group of them expressed Wednesday afternoon, insulting what is considered the best footballer in history like no one has ever done.

“They taste like perfumes, not football”, Pipo Gorosito once said about the French, leaving a phrase that was remembered in Argentina in these days of quasi-diplomatic tension. In the distance, the PSG ultras (the bars) who beat the Pulce look ungrateful, and the managers of a club that hasn’t found its way for a long time, more precisely since 2011, when Qatar Investment Authority he took over the institute, spending billions of dollars in search of a glory that does not come.

Today the most logical thing would have been for PSG to whitewash that Messi did not want to renew for next year and agree to sack him elegantly, but we know: Some people aren’t used to getting “no” for an answer.. Instead they punished him with a very exaggerated fine, which was not officially communicated but was cowardly disclosed through the friendly press.

They couldn’t even win the Champions League with Messi, it’s true. But the popularity that the French club has accumulated in these two years is indisputable and certainly very profitable in commercial terms. We see it in Argentina, where the shirts with the number 30 (almost all trout, forced nobility) have replaced those of Barcelona. And the same will happen as soon as it becomes known where Leo will continue his career. Is that enough for PSG fans? It seems not, even if there are other variables that influence this disproportionate anger towards the Argentine.

Delivered once again on a platter to the French media (like when they gave it low ratings), Messi has become the perfect scapegoat for this new PSG failure, obscuring everyone’s responsibilities. Even your mbappeanointed captain and leader of a soulless team.

Because they don’t tell good Kylian anything. He himself acknowledged that President Macron called him last year to explain the importance of his stay at the club when Real Madrid were looking for him: Paris will receive the Olympic Games in 2024 and its face will be everywhere. Meanwhile, the new PSG is already underway. Now with Messi out of contention and possibly without Neymar, there is talk of forming “a young, disciplined and more French team”. Mon Dieu.

“This is not Kylian Saint-Germain,” the young star recently warned while watching a club video about next season in which (oh, coincidence) Messi and Neymar were ignored. It can be seen coming.

But going back to Messi, deep down he has the feeling that they have never forgiven him for being champion in Qatar against France. He had no tributes on his return to PSG. And (once again the media) have criticized his delay in physical recovery after the World Cup, a complication suffered by most of the players who have played in the tournament, as demonstrated by a report from the players’ union.

It will be nice now to see what happens to the definition of Ligue 1. Will Messi play the remaining dates when this ridiculous sanction is lifted? What will you do if you score a goal? Will he celebrate the title of champion? And will PSG be champions? Wouldn’t it be nice if Marseille gave him a replacement? 5 points to go and 5 games to go, it’s not something that…

Questions and more questions, like the one we’ve started asking ourselves in this part of the world: where do we put the PSG 30 shirt?
