met videoLionel Messi leaves Paris Saint-Germain. That writes the authoritative French sports magazine The Team, which relies on sources within the club. The Argentine world champion would thus leave the national champion after a period of two seasons, after having played an almost entire career with Barcelona.
Rumors of Messi’s imminent departure have been circulating for some time. The Parisian public blames him for the elimination in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, because Messi would not play football with as much passion at PSG as he did at Argentina. He has also been booed by his own fans in recent times. Reportedly, Barcelona now wants to bring back its former star player.

That was against the sore leg of the club management, who suspended him for two weeks, French media report. According to The Team he is also not paid during that period. Messi will miss the next two league matches due to his suspension, Sunday against Troyes and a week later at home against AC Ajaccio. He could play again against Auxerre on May 21.
Messi missed Tuesday’s training due to the family outing. French coach Christophe Galtier and his staff had initially promised the players that they would have Monday and Tuesday off if they beat Lorient. But because PSG lost, only one day off was granted, mainly to prevent departure abroad.
According to The Team the staff was not happy with some images of players last week who gave the impression of being on vacation during the four allotted rest days. The French newspaper reported on Tuesday that some teammates were “shocked” by Messi’s absence.
Technical director Luis Campos and Galtier would have made it clear to Messi that the moment was inappropriate, because the league title has not yet been won for PSG. According to Messi himself, the trip could no longer be postponed because the hot summer in the Middle East is coming.
