Messi won’t win us anything! Former PSG player Rothen was infuriated by Messi’s performance against Bayern. Does he lack respect for the club?
Paris Saint-Germain failed to score in their Champions League semi-final return leg against Bayern Munich. Former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen particularly criticised Lionel Messi’s performance and suggested that the famous Argentine lacks respect for the club. What else did he say about him?
Paris Saint-Germain failed to score in their Champions League semi-final rematch against Bayern Munich. Former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen particularly criticised Lionel Messi’s performance and suggested that the famous Argentine lacks respect for the club. What else did he say about him?
In the first match at home he lost 0:1, in the return match at the Allianz Arena he lost again, but this time 0:2. PSG failed to score a single goal against the German giant in the double-header and, like last year, they are already out of the quarter-finals.
Former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen commented on this match, or rather on Lionel Messi, for French TV RMC Sport.
He, of course, was not happy with the result, but he was all the more infuriated by the performance of the thirty-five-year-old Argentine. In his statement, the latter wondered how he played and what he invested in the national team during the World Cup in Qatar, compared to his movement in the PSG jersey.
“The joke is that we saw his games at the World Cup in Qatar, I watched his movement, what he invested in it all,” Rothen said on RMC Sport television.
“And I don’t mind, because the national team jersey is a separate thing. But hey, have some respect for the club from the capital. One that allows you to keep your status and salary,” Rothen told Messi.
“Only PSG could give him all this and PSG, of course, fell at his feet because they thought he could help us win the Champions League. But he won’t win us anything!” he added.
Yes, Messi is part of the Parisian unit and is no doubt part of all the problems that are currently plaguing Paris Saint-Germain.
However, it should be noted, quite objectively, that to blame only one man in this case is unfair to say the least. The Parisians can at least concentrate on the domestic competition and regain the championship title after a one-year “pause”.
