Messi travels to Arabia and angers Parisian club

In crisis despite leadership in League 01, PSG lives with a new problem in its squad: star Lionel Messi traveled to Saudi Arabia, the club did not like it and punished the striker, who in turn apologized for what happened.

Living with protests from the fans, Paris Saint Germain had to deal with a new crisis this week, as Lionel Messi traveled to the Middle East, in an act that irritated the club from the French capital. To complete the chaotic situation, the future of the 35-year-old Argentine is uncertain as a departure from the wealthy Paris club is seen as quite possible and some clubs (such as Barcelona, ​​Newcastle, Arab and MLS clubs appear as likely destinations) . Messi’s contract expires at the end of the current season, making a possible stay on French soil unlikely.

On the trip to Arabia, which resulted in a two-week ban, Messi issued a statement:

I thought we would have a day off after the game (Sunday against Lorient) as usual. I had this trip arranged and I couldn’t cancel it. I had already canceled before… I apologize to my teammates and wait for what the club wants to do with me.

In the current season so far, Lionel Andres Messi has 15 goals and 15 assists in 28 games played. PSG are leaders of the French Championship, with 75 points (five ahead of Olympique de Marseille, who occupy second place) in 33 matches.

In addition to Messi, PSG fans have also been highly critical of Brazilian striker Neymar Jr, who even recently visited the 31-year-old striker’s front door asking him to leave the club. The results of the season (failure in the French Cup and in the Champions League weigh for the moment of imminent adversity).
