“Tevez slams PSG for Messi’s suspension: “You can’t treat a player who made PSG famous like that””

Someone is speaking straight!

PSG star Lionel Messi (35) was suspended by the French club after a short trip with his family as a tourism ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He was not allowed to train with the team, his wages for the time were withheld – the trip had not been announced.

For compatriot and striker legend Carlos Tevez (39), it was impossible to deal with the superstar.

In an interview with “TyC Sports” Tevez shoots sharply PSG: “If you were to tell me, as a world champion, that I had to apologize for taking a trip on a day off, I would go back to Rosario and stay there and drink mate.”

The Argentina legend with a clear message: “You can’t treat a player who made PSG famous like that.”

After his suspension, Messi publicly apologized in a short video, and the club lifted the suspension after around five days. “We welcomed him with joy,” said the PSG trainer about Christophe Galtier (56).

The coach also announced that Messi will lose in Saturday’s game against AC Ajaccio (9pm, here in the live ticker) will return to the starting XI. Tevez on Friday: “He will start tomorrow. I spoke to him on Tuesday to find out how he’s doing. He was calm, motivated and desperate to win again. He has trained well and wants to play. I can’t say anything about the sanction.”

At least the seven-time world footballer does not have to fear whistles from the Ultras, who demonstrated against Messi during the week. They have announced that they will boycott the club’s remaining home games. Galtier: “It is a decision that I will not comment on.”

It remains unclear how Messi will continue after this season. Messi’s father and manager Jorge recently denied a report about a move to Saudi Arabia.

Messi’s contract with PSG ends on June 30 after two years. In addition to a possible move to Major League Soccer in Miami, there is speculation above all about a return to FC Barcelona. The heavily indebted Catalans, whom he tearfully left in the summer of 2021, have already confirmed an interest and are working on a financing plan.
