The French take Messi into account

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

The tree is burning near Paris St. Germain! On Sunday evening, the Parisians lose their second league game in a row against Olympique Lyon, the lead at the top of the table shrinking, just six points more than Marseille and Lens in one match. In the Champions League, they failed again after a disappointing performance against Bayern Munich in the round of 16. And now the personalities of Lionel Messi are worried about the billionaire owners of the Sheikh Club.

The superstar seems to have fallen out of favor with the Parisian fans. Before the game, as in the last home game, Messi will be booed by his own fans when the line-up is announced. Paris supporters don’t seem to appreciate his attitude to work and his salary of around 40 million a year is too high for die-hard fans. “He earns too much in relation to what he does on the field,” said a statement from a Parisian ultragroup.

26 turnover

“Since his return from the World Cup in Qatar, which made him god, Messi has lost his football,” writes the French sports newspaper L’Equipe. In fact, the Argentine has looked a bit lethargic since his triumph in Qatar and has since scored nine goals in 11 appearances. Before the World Cup, 17 goals were scored in 13 matches.

And also in the most recent defeat on Sunday evening against Olympique Lyon, the seven-time world footballer does not look good. He loses 26 balls in the whole game, his offensive actions seem unhappy and unconvinced.

Back to Barcelona?

The discussions about the megastar come at a time when rumors of a return to original club Barcelona are getting louder. Barça Vice President Rafael Yuste recently said: “We are in contact with Messi. He knows how much we appreciate him and how much we want him back.”

But the club management at Paris St. Germain also seems to want to keep Messi and extend his expiring contract. The question is whether this will be well received by the die-hard Parisian fans. (byl)
