11:02 Lionel Messi to leave Paris Saint-Germain. That is the clear view of Jérôme Rothen. The former midfielder of the French top club sees that the Argentinian is not getting better in Paris, while the club does not seem to be getting any better from him. A summer departure would therefore be a logical choice, says the former football player.
It is crisis in Paris, where the star ensemble has failed to win four of its last six matches. The team lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League, while last weekend they lost 3-0 to AS Monaco, a sub-topper in Ligue 1 this season. “The love story has failed. It is better for everyone if this will stop in June,” Rothen added RMC† Messi is still on hold until mid-2023 in the French capital, where he has scored twice and provided 11 assists in the competition so far.
Rothen believes that the attacker has not yet shown his best version in the Parc des Princes. “I am surprised. I am sorry that the relationship between Messi and PSG has turned out this way,” said the former France international, who sees that something is not right within the selection. “There are players from South America who are pulling their faces and are unable to play due to physical complaints. But those players do arrive at their national team in top condition…”
After the elimination from the Champions League due to the defeat against Real, Messi and Neymar were whistled by the supporters from Paris. The attackers had to lead the team to European success, but for now the team has to settle for the national title. The team can hardly miss this, given the gap of twelve points with number two Olympique Marseille.
