Lionel Messi came to PSG as the king. Months later, the Argentine ace is in the headlines but for the non-football reason. In fact, he has a dismal record in domestic French competitions, netting just one goal in 13 appearances, which has drawn criticism from all across the footballing world. To be fair, multi rich PSG don’t need Messi to win the French league, as they are already 10 points ahead of Marseille with a game in hand. The need Leo for the Champions League and the Argentinian has been good so far.Messi called a Liverpool legend – a donkey?Still, rumors about his unhappiness continue to surface all the time. The latest one, coming from Spain, but quoting French sources is that he is unhappy with his PSG stay and that he blames Barca president Laporta for mishandling his contract situation, which forced him to move to Paris. Argentine publication El Confidential then moved on to publish the possible reasons for his unhappiness. Among them are his unfitness, which is a consequence of Covid virus he was subjected too, but also the lifestyle in Paris.What. A. Game. Four goals in frantic 20 minutes and a crazy Marseille comebackApparently, he finds the weather too cold and too rainy compared to the sunny Barcelona, and he doesn’t have many close friends in the dressing room beside the South American players. Although the club has arranged special language classes for Messi and his family, it is reported that they do not speak French effectively and it is causing a communication problem in the locker room. Also, unlike his Barcelona villa, his new French house lacks a soccer pitch, a swimming pool, and an expansive garden.Ramos injured again, the French suspect he is thinking of retirementWith that state of mind, Lionel Messi has travelled to Lille, to face current Ligue 1 champions and coach Mauricio Pochettino wants a win in order to ease the pain from a Nice defeat in the Cup but also to lift the spirits ahead of Champions League duel with Real.“We are fine. Of course, it was disappointing to lose against Nice. Sometimes penalties do not reflect the merit of a team. It’s a lottery. We lost, we have to accept it. We have to move forward, other competitions await us and require a lot of energy. You have to arrive in the best conditions in the Champions League. It’s also important for points in the league, to stay ahead in the standings. You have to arrive against Real with the best feelings” said the Spaniard.[#L1🇫🇷] Les absents du PSG contre Lille ❌🇧🇷 Neymar🇪🇸 Ramos🇦🇷 Icardi🇳🇱 Wijnaldum🇪🇸 Herrera(@PSG_inside) pic.twitter.com/GqxkaweRW7— Footballogue⭐️⭐️ (@Footballogue) February 6, 2022 PSG coach will be without Neymar, Ramos, Icardi, Wijnaldum and Ander Herrera for this match, while Burak Yilmaz will not partner David in Lille’s attack due to minor injury.
