“He’s Almost Anti-French” – Lionel Messi’s 2 Years of ‘Black Spot’ at PSG Slammed as His $25,000,000 Paycheck From Saudi Arabia Questioned

Lionel Messi has been enjoying his move to Inter Miami following a lackluster spell with Paris Saint Germain. The Argentine seems to have found his lost touch, as he was struggling during his days with PSG. In recent interviews, Leo has touched down during his time at the French capital and said that he did not have a desire to PSG and felt unhappy at the club.

Messi’s recent comments have not sat down well with multiple French personalities, as former French football Jérôme Rothen slammed the star for his recent comments. Rother also questioned Messi’s motive behind taking a massive $25 million from Saudi to promote them, just to reject a big money deal and move to the United States.

Lionel Messi slammed by Jerome Rothen over recent comments

While talking on RMC, Jérôme Rothen decided to go all in on Lionel Messi as he slammed him for being disrespectful while calling him anti-French. The former French star went ahead and called Messi, a tour guide for Saudi Arabia, for his endorsement deal.

“You’re a great player, the record speaks for itself. He’s been an incredible player, but I’m sorry. His big black spot is his arrival at PSG, and the two years he’s been messing with everyone’s heads. As far as I’m concerned, he’s lost all credibility. He’s a great player, but he’s a little person. He’s almost anti-French. In any case, he was against Paris Saint-Germain.”

“Given that this little person doesn’t think too much either, he’s come to explain to us that in Saudi Arabia, for his family, it would have been complicated, whereas he’s only a tourist guide over there and he’s taken a big cheque.”
