It seems that the visit of Argentine Lionel Messi, star of the French club Paris Saint-Germain, to Saudi Arabia on Monday to promote tourism in the Kingdom has sparked a revolution of anger within the corridors of the Parisian club.

The French newspaper “L’Equipe” confirmed that some Paris Saint-Germain players were in a state of shock as a result of Messi’s trip to Saudi Arabia after facing Lorient in the 33rd round of the French League 2022-23.

Paris Saint-Germain players were scheduled to have two days of rest in the event of a victory over Lorient, which is why Messi planned his trip to Saudi Arabia, but the 3-1 loss changed the club’s plans.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier decided that the players would undergo a training session on Monday as normal after that loss, but Messi missed the training due to his presence in Saudi Arabia.

The report of the French newspaper stressed that Messi’s behavior did not impress a number of players in the Paris Saint-Germain dressing room, in addition to a wide segment of the team’s fans, and the club did not want to give the impression that the players were on vacation after the French League title was at stake.

The loss of Paris Saint-Germain by Lorient froze its score at 75 points, bringing the difference to only five points with runners-up Marseille, with five rounds remaining until the end of the season.
