49th minute. Lionel Messi takes over a center of Jordi Alba to serve Luis Suarez in the Parisian penalty area. The ball is millimeter, perfectly modeled in the Uruguayan race. One of the only moments of magic produced by the former Paris Saint-Germain player.
This 100 % sponsored action by the old Barça will not tremble Gianluigi Donnarumma. Suarez’s control was not there. It must be said that like the “Pulga”, the former Liverpool striker did not have the opportunity to warm his crampons.
The fault of Parisian domination, the weakness of the Inter Miami midfielder and the apathy of the Floridian defense. The 38 -year -old Argentinian crossed this eighth final of the World Cup of clubs under an invisibility cape. Or rather, in the shadow of Parisian superiority, the collective of which radiated to light years from the weak opposition represented by the current 6th of the eastern conference of MLS (4-0).
Around the hour of play, the 2022 world champion tried to wake up his family. In the 63rd minute, he accelerated to erase Willian Pacho, challenge Beraldo and attempt the first shot on his stable. He then won more to streamline a game that his partners were too borrowed to build.
A head and helplessness
At the initiative of a counterattack, he even almost imitated João Neves from the head. Donnarumma went to bed on his way. But, on arrival, the ex-Barcelona spent most of his game to walk down, as embarrassed by the level displayed by his partners.
Upon his arrival in North America in July 2023, the best player of all time had turned the spotlight on the Major League Soccer, but also on its weaknesses. This European champion PSG has only supported this difference in speed. Difficult, therefore, to blame Messi. Football Europe was getting used to finding the Argentinian frescoes.
The latter remembered her with a vintage direct free kick against FC Porto (2-1) in the group stage, but the Parisian walk was too high. Faced with the capital’s club, he remotely won a similar attempt in the wall. With only 48 touched balloons, he did not have the ammunition, nor the legs to weigh. Which was not to displease the part of PSG supporters who still did not digest the passage of the “chip” in their club.
A hanging with Vitinha?
For them, Messi’s two -year stay turned into an unfinished tale, marked by two eliminations in the knockout stages of the Champions League and what they deemed as a lack of involvement of the Rosario native. On social networks, Internet users have even accused the Argentinian of having tried to voluntarily hit Vitinha in the first period. False incidents sold by a handshake at the end of the game.
One of the darlings in the Parc des Princes finally resisted the muscular pressing of the Outle -Board of Golden Ball. Referring it to his helplessness. Javier Mascherano, coach of the club of David Beckham, had wanted to transform the “anger” of the Albiceleste star into engine with regard to his former club. It has never been expressed to the advantage of the Floridians. The Messi-Paris chapter is undoubtedly definitively closed.
