What did Lionel Messi say about the Parisians?

The 7x Ballon d’Or winner was emphatic in securing his inaugural World Cup in the Middle East. Messi’s compatriots like Lisandro Martinez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Enzo Martinez received warm congratulations from their respective clubs following the success in the grandest stage of soccer. However, Messi asserted that he did not experience any reception from the Parisians after returning from the World Cup campaign.

The ex-Barca star believed he was the only player who never received such acknowledgment from his then club. The Inter Miami captain revealed in Migue Granados’ show, “I was the only player of the [squad] that didn’t get a [PSG] recognition”. He also implied that the omission occurred due to Argentina’s win over Francr in the finals. Messi also added, “It was understandable … because of us [Argentina], they didn’t retain the World Cup”, nursing his resentment.

Soccer enthusiasts, however, hold high esteem for Messi’s performances in their World Cup triumph. La Pulga played a crucial role in ending La Albiceleste’s 36-year-long World Cup drought.
