WHAT HAPPENED? After returning to France following Argentina’s success at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Messi felt he was the only player not to receive recognition from his club, with the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Alexis Mac Allister the only two players to receive congratulations from their clubs.
WHAT THEY SAID: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has denied claims that Messi was not congratulated for his achievement, saying it would be complicated considering Argentina had just beaten France on penalties in the final. “As everyone saw, because we even published the video, we celebrated Messi in training, and we also celebrated him privately,” he recently told RMC Sport. “But with respect, we are a French club. Of course it is sensitive to celebrate in the stadium. We have to respect the country he beat, his teammates in the French national team and also our fans.”
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Even though Messi was given a guard of honor when he returned to training, the Inter Miami striker apparently felt dissatisfied and ended his two years at PSG by moving to MLS this summer.

WHAT IS NEXT? It remains to be seen whether Messi once again responds to the claims made by Al-Khelaifi, but after being warmly welcomed in the United States with his summer move, it is unlikely that the world star will sleep soundly because of this.
