In PSG, there is intense concern about Messi's future

He could not continue in París and he was also booed by the PSG fans

Leo Messi, after of PSG`s in UEFA Champions League against Bayern elimination

It was one of the curiosities of the evening, and it was scrutinized even in the upper echelons of PSG. A year after the whistles following elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Lionel Messi found the Parc des Princes in similar circumstances. At the time, the affront of the bays may have fallen on almost the entire workforce, the scene had deeply struck the Argentinian, who had never been ridiculed by his own public in his career in club. Guilty in the eyes of some of the supporters of embodying the "all stars" policy of PSG, the former Barcelonan then refused for months to go and greet the Parisian ultras. Sunday , when the composition of the teams was announced, his name was the subject of a few scattered whistles, immediately counterbalanced by applause. During the meeting, there were also a few whistles on one or two aborted actions (45th + 2), rather classic in this type of sluggish meeting, but nothing to do with the bronca of last year. 


The Parisian number 30 will not have great memories of this Sunday without much brilliance, and he was also one of the first to join the locker room at the end of the match, without going to greet the stands. During the ninety minutes, he did not remain idle, or only when his team did not have the ball, he is even involved in a lot of situations of the champions of France, especially in the first period. Three dangerous strikes (15th, countered by Omari, 33rd and 40th, stopped by Mandanda), two chiseled openings for Mbappé who could have hit the mark (26th, 40th).


Insufficient to avoid defeat and erase the overall impression of a half-invested team. At Messi, it takes the form of more and more waste as the minutes go by (26 lost balls, double that of any other player), or of these long shots without conviction, in desperation (90th + 4). The club no longer so sure of wanting to extend it If the PSG staff was particularly attentive to the evening of the "Pulga", it is because its contractual situation is coming to a pivotal period. The world champion is out of contract this summer, with an additional year with an option that can only be activated if both parties agree. Until recently, the trend leaned in favor of an extension in Paris, the two parties having even agreed in principle during the World Cup on condition of finding the financial conditions. However, lately, a question has arisen.


The seven fold Ballon d'Or arouses interest, as we know (Inter Miami, Saudi Arabia, Barça). But on the PSG side too, and this is new, everything is no longer so clear on this file.




At the club, on the one hand we are thinking about the evolution to be given to the sports project, on the other hand we have heard that the prospect of keeping the 36-year-old star is very far from being unanimous among the supporters. This does not mean that the arguments in favor of an extension will not prevail in the end. But it is an element to take into account in a complex equation on which everyone continues to work.

Now Arsenal is turning its attention exclusively to the Champions League, where after the 3-0 win, it seems to have a big lead to qualify for the semi-finals of the top club competition in Europe, if not the world.
