Yesterday’s game was Messi’s first appearance for Paris Saint Germain (PSG). The Argentine showed himself from an excellent side because in the 74th minute, he scored a goal that allowed his club to win 2-0. However, an intriguing situation occurred during the match. While the English team is taking a free-throw, Messi lay down on the ground behind the wall, thus preventing the opponent from scoring a goal. It is an increasingly common technique, used in the past, inter alia, against Messi himself. The behavior of the footballer and his colleagues greatly divided Internet users in social media and specialists.
Rio Ferdinand, former footballer Manchester United, commented directly on the event at the end of the match.
It is disrespectful to a legend to lie like this! If I was at PSG, I wouldn’t let him lie there. I would do it!

Some also mention events from 3 years ago, when Messi himself laughed at the stands with Marcelo Brozovic, who also lay behind the wall at that time and blocked the shot fired by Luis Suarez.
Not everyone believes that Messi, as a football legend, is not fit to do so. One of the Twitter users wrote on the Rio Ferdinand video:
A real professional footballer. 0 percent ego and 1000 percent. skills. I think such gestures make it even better.

Club Paris Saint Germianwhere Messi plays after two rounds of the Champions League, he is the leader of group A. He has 4 points (1 draw and 1 win). The same result was achieved by Club Brugge, but he has a slightly worse goal balance than PSG, so he is in second place.
