“Messi had a good season at PSG when he scored many goals and also contributed. But just because they were eliminated in the Champions League, everything fell on his head. Messi is an outstanding player and It’s too bad that a star of that level is being treated like this. At Barca, we will certainly treat Messi well. But the final decision will be made by the president or the coach,” Roberto shared after the El Clasico match in the 26th round of La Liga on the morning of March 20.
Messi had bad days when PSG were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. On March 19, when the Paris team lost 0-2 to Rennes in the 28th round of Ligue 1, Messi left the tunnel after the match ended and did not go with his teammates to greet the home fans. This is considered a reaction move of M10 when he was booed and whistled by PSG fans in the stands.
The fanatical group of PSG blamed Messi for the defeat in the Champions League. They consider that “El Pulga”‘s contribution is not commensurate with the high salary he is receiving.
Foot Mercato insists that despite reaching an oral agreement to continue staying at PSG in December, Messi has begun to seriously consider returning to Barca to play football. The Argentine superstar thinks this is a “golden opportunity” to reunite his old team in the summer of 2023. M10 regularly keeps in touch and talks with Barca coach Xavi Hernandez.
On March 18, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that Messi had just received an extension offer from PSG. However, M10 is not in a hurry to sign because he wants to know what PSG’s plan is next season. If he feels the club does not have enough ambition to compete for the title, Messi will refuse to renew.
Despite losing to Rennes, PSG is still leading the Ligue 1 rankings with a gap of 7 points compared to second-placed Marseille. The Paris capital club still has many chances to win the domestic championship this season. Similarly, Barca, the team beat Real Madrid 2-1 and created a gap of 12 points with rivals on the La Liga table. In the above victory, Roberto contributed 1 goal.
