In a surprising turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe has strongly criticized the club’s supporters for their failure to give Lionel Messi the admiration and respect he rightfully deserved during his stint at the Parc des Princes.
After triumphing in the World Cup for the first time in his illustrious career last December, the legendary Argentinian is set to bid farewell to PSG as his contract expires at the end of this month. Unfortunately, Messi’s departure has been accompanied by disapproval from the fans, who grew dissatisfied with his on-pitch performances and off-pitch conduct.
In an exclusive interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport (quotes via Goal), Mbappe expressed his disappointment with the treatment given to Messi, emphasizing the significant stature of the player in the history of football. He stated, “We are talking about potentially the best player in the history of football. It’s never good news when someone like Messi leaves.”
Mbappe further conveyed his personal confusion regarding the overwhelming relief shown by many individuals upon Messi’s departure. He emphasized that Messi, as an extraordinary talent, deserved respect from the fans, which he regrettably did not receive during his time in France. “It’s a shame, but that’s how it happened. We will have to do what we can to replace him,” Mbappe added, acknowledging the enormous void left by the departure of the football icon.
Although Lionel Messi has officially declared his intention to join Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise Inter Miami once his PSG contract concludes, the transfer deal has not been finalized yet. Confirmation of the move came through interviews conducted by Spanish outlets Mundo Deportivo and Sport.
As the football world eagerly awaits the resolution of Messi’s next career move, PSG supporters are left contemplating their behavior towards a player of such extraordinary caliber. The club will undoubtedly face the daunting task of finding a suitable replacement for the Argentine maestro, who has left an indelible mark on the Parc des Princes.
