Lionel Messi has quite an exciting week ahead due to his unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia. The superstar now has support from his former teammate Javier Mascherano.
Javier Mascherano cannot understand at all what tone is currently being used with Lionel Messi. “It’s a shame not to realize what kind of player they have in their team,” Mascherano protested to D Sports.
The two Argentines, who not only know each other from their time together with the national team, but above all from the eight seasons they spent in the service of FC Barcelona, maintain a good relationship with each other.
“I think ten years ago no PSG fan could have imagined that they would have the best player in history on their team,” Mascherano continues. “And instead of appreciating him, they criticized him for two years.”

Mascherano advises Messi: go where you are happy
At PSG, no one is good at Messi at the moment as he left for an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia a week ago, was subsequently suspended and at times savagedly berated by die-hard Paris fans during a rally outside PSG’s offices.
“If there’s one thing you can’t criticize, it’s his professionalism,” Mascherano said of seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi. “It’s impossible to criticize him. Let him go with his family where he’s happy.”
