The whistles of Paris Saint-Germain supporters against Lionel Messi have not finished talking. From Paris, to Barcelona via Buenos Aires, everyone seems to protest against the treatment reserved by the public of PSG with regard to the Argentine star who spun in selection to seek a little bit of comfort. From Spain, this time it was Lilian Thuram who showed his incomprehension in the face of such a situation. The former defender of the Blues, passed by FC Barcelona, simply does not understand that this can happen.
“For Messi, Barcelona is his home. He played with the youth teams, he played for Barça for a long time, he wanted to stay and it’s very difficult to leave when you want to stay. But I also think it’s difficult when you change teams, even more so when you’re Messi at Barcelona because everyone, even outside, is with you…”, explained Lilian Thuram to the Spanish press. .
“In Paris, it’s different and when you see that PSG are eliminated against Real Madrid and that in the next match people are whistling Messi, it’s incredible,” he pleaded. In fact, following the elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Real Madrid (1-0, 1-3), Messi had, like Neymar, been copiously whistled at each touch of the ball by the public of the Parc des Princes during the reception of Bordeaux (3-0).
And obviously, Lilian Thuram did not appreciate at all: “It should not exist, the supporters must not disrespect Messi, because it is… Messi. We can’t do that, a person who loves football can’t accept Messi being whistled because it’s not normal. »
