Football pundit Jerome Rothen has hit out at Lionel Messi for claiming that he was unhappy at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). He believes that the Argentine is making excuses for his failure to shine at the Ligue 1 club.
Speaking on RMC Sport, Rothen praised Messi’s on-field performances but questioned his comments on being unhappy in Paris. He further added that the Inter Miami star would be targeted by the PSG fans when the two sides face off in the FIFA Club World Cup round-of-16 on Sunday, June 29. He said (via GOAL):
Lionel Messi joined PSG in 2021 on a free transfer from Barcelona. The Argentine played 75 matches for the French side and scored 32 goals, while assisting 35 times.
Jordi Alba spoke to the media earlier this week about Lionel Messi and his time at PSG. He claimed that the Inter Miami star would be extra motivated to beat his former side and said (via GOAL):
Sripad has been a Chelsea fan through and through since the age of 9 and can watch their 2012 Champions League triumph on repeat. The undisputed ‘GOAT’ according to him is Lionel Messi and his favorite managers are Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson. Apart from popular European leagues, he also likes to follow other leagues like the MLS, Saudi Pro League, Eredivisie, and Liga MX.
Sripad believes in only using the right sources for his articles, and is an expert in understanding how to get the right quotes for each news to provide proper background information. His exploits have led him to become a popular figure in European Football and interviewing Premier League legends such as Alan Shearer, Shay Given, Paul Dickov, and John Barnes. His articles have been much revered amongst the football fraternity and have been shared by the likes of John Terry, Gary Lineker, and Declan Rice.
If given a chance to change a football rule, Sripad wants VAR to be fully automated and offside rules to be less stringent. When not working, he likes to watch past Formula 1 races and play FIFA.
