Lionel Messicurrent player of Paris Saint Germain, is one of the players most criticized by the French press after his arrival in the country in mid-August. La Pulga, which is well above the level accused by the main media in that country, left Barcelona after 17 seasons with the first team.
“Messi will return to Barcelona at the end of the season, even if it’s free,” he said. Fabrizio Ravanelli, former Juventus and Lazio player among others. And he added: “Now he is in a difficult stage of his life because he knows how important the quality of life and his environment is to enjoy it to the fullest, and I am also aware and I am convinced that, at this point, one could say that your parenthesis in Paris is over”.
Far from changing his opinion in his interview given to Diario As, the coach who won the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League with the Vecchia Signora added: “he will return, even if it is with a very low salary, but he knows that his home is Barcelona and that he has made a big mistake going to Paris.
Although in Ligue 1 the team is comfortably ahead (they are heading to be champions of the competition several dates before the end), and in the Champions League they beat Real Madrid in the first leg, the great objective of Messi is another one. The winner of seven Ballon d’Ors is preparing physically and psychologically to play in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which could be his last chance to lift the trophy.
