Victorious over AC Ajaccio this Saturday evening, Lionel Messi most certainly played one of his last matches at the Parc des Princes. His departure from PSG at the end of his contract is no longer in any doubt as illustrated by the statement full of innuendo from Christophe Galtier, the Parisian coach, before the match.
Lionel Messi did not find the net this Saturday evening, but tread the lawn of the Princes Park could sound like a small victory for him. Suspended, initially, two weeks by PSG after going to Saudi Arabia without the agreement of his officials, the Argentine world champion was forced to apologize to his club and his teammates. Following the release of this video, the PSG made the decision to reinstate him. Christophe Galtier did not hold it against him and decided to line him up this Saturday evening (5-0 victory). Before the tie kicked off, the Parisian manager hinted that this could be one of Messi’s last appearances in League 1.

” You should take advantage “
“ If this is one of Messi’s last games? When Leo arrived in our French championship, I said that everyone should take advantage of it. He is the best player in the history of world football, you have to take advantage of it. People have to appreciate his career and what he is able to do on the pitch.” told Galtier at the microphone of Canal +.
What future for Messi?
Linked to PSG until next June, Lionel Messi would have announced to his club, through his entourage, that he would leave the France at the end of the season. According to a Saudi source, the Argentinian would have given his agreement to engage with Al Hilal, one of the most powerful Saudi teams. In Europe, the FC Barcelona tries, until the end, to finance his arrival. The truth lies in the identity of his next club.
