Messi to miss following fixtures after his suspension. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has given Lionel Messi a two-week suspension for his unapproved vacation to Saudi Arabia. The Argentine star traveled to the Middle Eastern nation as part of his responsibilities as the nation’s traveling ambassador.
Many others thought Messi’s vacation was poorly timed, though, considering Paris had just lost to Lorient at home in Ligue 1 the day before. Few believed the trip was likely given the devastating nature of the setback.
Messi will be absent from two games as a result of the punishment. He won’t be participating in the May 7 away game in Ligue 1 versus Troyes. The match against Ajaccio at home on May 13 will also be missed by the No. 30.
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe have led the team’s offense in Neymar’s absence. The Argentine has played in 37 games this season in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and assisting 19 others. The impact of his absence on PSG is still unknown.
Lionel Messi, the standout player for PSG, was discussed by Jerome Rothen:
Regarding Lionel Messi’s stay in the French city, many analysts in France have expressed skepticism. One of the commentators is Jerome Rothen. The Argentine’s time at the Parisian club has been discussed once more by the RMC Sports analyst.
In view of Messi’s unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, Rothen’s recent remarks are relevant. He attacked the matter harshly, claiming that the athlete only joined the team for financial gain.
He said: “It’s chilling to hear that once more, and it bothers me all the more given what I think of Leo Messi’s years at PSG, why he came”
He further added: “[It’s] just a money issue. It was the only club that could provide him with what he desired. one and only. Even there, he wants to return to Barcelona, but Barcelona is unable to accommodate him, so he makes an effort to prolong his stay and irritate the Qataris even more. However, ciao! Goodbye! The end! I’ve had enough.”
At the end of the current campaign, Messi’s current contract will expire, and he has not yet agreed to a new one. The player’s future at the French club is gloomy given the circumstances.
