Questioned by the Gazzetta dello Sport, Kylian Mbappé evokes the Lionel Messi case. “Not happy” during his two years in Paris and never adopted by the Parc des Princes, to the point of being whistled by the Parisian public, the sevenfold Ballon d’Or left through the back door. “We are talking about potentially the best player in football history. It’s never good news when someone like Messi leaves. Personally, I don’t quite understand why so many people were so relieved that he was gone. He didn’t get the respect he deserved in France. It’s a shame, but that’s how it is. We will have to do what we can to replace him”, he explains, he who considers that it is “a chance” to have been able to play with Messi during these two years.
World champion last winter, in Qatar, Lionel Messi, 35, scored 21 goals and delivered 20 assists in 2022-23, his second and therefore last season under the colors of PSG. He will head to the United States and wear the colors of Inter Miami.
