‘Disappears in decisive matches’: Former PSG player attacks Messi after Champions League crash


The Argentine is challenged after another elimination in the competition

Jérôme Rothen, former player of Paris Saint-Germaindid not spare criticism of Lionel Messi after the fall of the French club UEFA Champions League. The 2-0 defeat for the Bayern Monaco raised many questions in the crowd about the future of the medallions in the cast and the Argentine did not escape. Rothen, in his comments to the French broadcaster RMC Sport, spoke of the current best in the world.




– I saw a statement from Messi about being “knowledgeable”, but used to what? Scoring 18 goals and providing 16 assists against Angers and Clermont is not comfortable. In decisive matches, it disappears. It seems like a joke after what he did at the World Cup. The club thought they were going to let us win, but they didn’t win anything,” said the former midfielder.

At the beginning of February, Rothen himself had already made other criticisms of a possible renewal of Messi – the current contract expires at the end of June – with PSG and said this was the worst choice for the board to make. At the time, fans disagreed with the commentator’s opinion due to Messi’s numbers in the French championship and in the last world Cup. However, he was keen to recall this disagreement to defend his point of view after the elimination of the French in samples.

– When I criticized Messi, I was devastated on social media, even in Argentina. Come on, tell me Messi is good. If tomorrow someone tells me that he has been renewed, I will no longer go to the Parc des Princes. This renewal would be a problem for PSG because the high salary of these players blocks the club’s travel to the transfer market.

OR PSG now turn your attention to the national side. On Saturday, the team will face Brest at 17, away, for the 27th round of the French championship.
