The management of the French football club "PSG" immediately reacted to the interview of Lionel Messi, in which the football player expressed criticism about the atmosphere in the club. President Nasser Al-Khelaifi defined the Argentine's behavior as shameful.
Lionel Messi played for PSG for two years after his transfer from Barcelona in the summer of 2021. During this time he scored 22 goals in 58 appearances and helped win several trophies, but in the final stages of his stay at the club he clashed with the fans and management. Messi rejected the offer to extend the contract and expressed the opinion that the situation at the club is toxic. According to the Argentine, the lack of a clear development strategy can prevent the Parisians from achieving their ambitions and winning the Champions League.
PSG's reaction to Messi's statement turned out to be very negative. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi continues to criticize Lionel Messi. He recently noted that the Argentinian's behavior is disrespectful and ugly in the context of relations with PSG.
"He is an outstanding footballer and a good person, but I don't like his recent behavior. There is no need to be so bitter about a club that has contributed so much during your tenure. Great athletes show more respect," said Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
