Praising Mbappe for having ‘gentlemanly qualities’, PSG President publicly criticized Messi for ‘betrayal’

Due to the fact that the Argentine superstar has left the French squad, the relationship between Lionel Messi and the leadership of Paris Saint-Germain is becoming increasingly strained. The most recent attempt to discredit “El Pulga” was made by the president of Paris Saint-Germain himself on the forum.

I have a great deal of respect for Messi, but it is definitely not a smart idea to speak negatively about Paris Saint-Germain after he has left the club. In his previous club, he does not show respect. Although I don’t think he’s a nasty person, I don’t like him. Messi is not the only person I dislike; I dislike everybody who acts in such a manner. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain, tweeted a message in which he criticized Lionel Messi in front of the media. “When there’s Neymar and Mbappe here, it’s not easy for Messi,” he said.

PSG president criticized Messi

Since the beginning of the year 2023, the relationship between Messi and Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly become more strained, as reported by the French publication L’Equipe. Before Messi joined the team, Paris Saint-Germain frequently made deep runs in the Champions League. However, in each of the seasons that “Leo” was a member of the Paris Saint-Germain team, the team was ousted in the eighth round.

Fanatics of Paris Saint-Germain blasted and placed blame on Messi after the club’s loss to Real Madrid. The Argentine player was subjected to a never-ending barrage of jeers from irrational spectators right on the field at Parc des Princes by the time the season came to a close. In particular, the event that occurred in early May 2023 when Messi skipped practice in order to travel to Saudi Arabia in order to promote tourism made the relationship between the parties even more irreparable.

Messi has, up until this point, retained a negative opinion about Paris Saint-Germain. He has stated, “As I stated at the time, moving to Paris was not what I could have wanted.” I have no desire to venture out of Barcelona. I simply make an effort to get through each day.

It was necessary for me to adjust to a location that was absolutely dissimilar to the city in which I had spent my whole life, both in terms of the football aspect and the city itself. Not only is that extremely challenging, but it is also the complete antithesis of what is occurring at Inter Miami.

Although he was not hesitant to make critical remarks about Lionel Messi, the leader of Paris Saint-Germain made an effort to console Kylian Mbappe. At this point in time, the team that won the Ligue 1 championship last year is still attempting to keep the French captain. Despite this, PSG’s chances of becoming successful are decreasing at an alarming rate.

PSG is still trying to keep Mbappe

According to Foot Mercato, Kylian Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid for free in the summer of 2024 when his contract with PSG expires. Talking about Mbappe’s future, Mr. Al Khelaifi said: “I will not hide it. Of course I want Kylian to stay, that’s for sure. He is the best player in the world and the best club for Kylian is PSG.

The head of the Parc des Princes continued: “Mbappe is still very young, he can still win many titles with us and the French team. I completely trust him. Mbappe will never do anything to harm the club. I don’t want to mention money, because that is a “gentleman’s” agreement. But it is true that we have an agreement.”
