Javier Mascherano, Messi’s former teammate in Barcelona and in the Argentine national team, has lined up in defense of the current Paris Saint-Germain athlete after the recent controversy surrounding the star player. The number 30 of the Parisian club traveled to Saudi Arabia last week and ended up punished by PSG for leaving the team’s concentration and missing a training session. The episode, added to the previous clashes, generated the revolt of the fans, who protested at the team’s headquarters.
For Mascherano, PSG fans are ungrateful to Messi and have not recognized the greatness of having the Argentine in their team.
“It’s a pity that they didn’t realize what kind of player they were lucky enough to have in their squad. I don’t think that ten years ago any Parisian fan could have imagined that they could have the best player in history in their squad. he, they have spent these two years criticizing him,” the former player underlined in an interview with DSports.
Mascherano also said that, in the future, fans will regret the way they treated Messi. The former Barça also praised the professionalism of the Argentine number 10, who apologized for what happened on his social networks.
“In ten years’ time they’ll regret it. Any team in the world would give anything to have him for five minutes. If there’s one thing you can’t fault, it’s his professionalism: it’s hard to find someone like him when he’s, perhaps, the best player in history. Impossible to criticize him. Let him go where he is happy and with his family,” he said.
