Football pundits have been asking questions, that why Messi hasn't performed well in Paris and why PSG has crashed out of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) ...

Both Messi and Mbappe tend to ghost the pitch when they are deprived of the ball. “Sometimes, Messi needs to trust the ability of his teammates in possession and concentrate on receiving the ball from them where he can do damage. It’s simply the Argentine midfield players who are more than willing to play along with him, or in tandem with him, or ultimately for their captain. They crashed out of the French Cup for the second consecutive year followed by the exit from the UCL and a defeat at their home ground. At the same time, the PSG coaching staff failed to realise that Messi would have lost a yard or two from his pace and the team should be re-strategised accordingly. Angel Di Maria was the first casualty, as far as a place in the starting eleven is concerned – of Messi’s entry to the PSG ranks. Neymar, who had started the season in stunning form, incidentally had to retire hurt. They did not realise the necessity of getting the ball to Messi, who has this uncanny ability to pass and link up play, which he tried brilliantly with Neymar. That must be one of the reasons they went all out to sign Messi after trying for almost a decade. The feud between Neymar and Mbappe that transgressed from the locker room to the pitch fuelled these rumours. Football pundits have been asking questions, that why Messi hasn’t performed well in Paris and why PSG has crashed out of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) without making it to the round of eight, twice in a row despite making dream signings last year. It would not be wrong to assume that, it was PSG management’s commercial or even political interests that made the Messi signing possible after the player had to leave FC Barcelona in 2021.

FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez is angry with the club's board for the way it is publicly discussing the potential return of Lionel Messi, ...

Xavi concluded his answer by adding: "I wish that he can come back to help us. According to El Confidencial, however, Xavi has been angered by public talk of an approach for Messi and believes that the best way for the club's higher ups to help his team win titles is to refrain from talking about the Argentine and any other potential signings until the end of the season. "I talk to him often, but now is not the time for the benefit of everyone: for the player himself, for the club, for the current squad ..." We are in contact with them, yes," Yuste said. Yet if Xavi really is irritated by the events of the last couple of days, he is not far off the mark to insist that the Blaugrana focuses on securing the domestic treble before revealing behind-the-scenes secrets and thinking out loud. "It is not time to talk about Leo's return."
