When asked about a possible return for Lionel Messi to the Catalan giants, ex-Barca defender Gerard Pique thought that the club shouldn’t force it too much.
When asked about current Barcelona Vice-President Rafa Yuste’s recent comments on a possible return for Lionel Messi to the Camp Nou, Gerard Pique chose to opt for a careful approach. The club’s legendary defender admitted it would be “amazing”, but that they mustn’t “force things”.
“I know Rafa Yuste and I know how he is. He’s a really good person and he’ll always tell you what you want to hear”, the ex-Barca defender said. “Of course, it would be amazing for all Barca fans if Leo went back. But there comes a moment when forcing things ends up being counter-productive. I’d let him choose himself, so it’s natural. If it ends up being done, it’ll be done. If both sides want it, the move will happen no matter how long it takes”.
Just last week, Rafa Yuste came out with the surprise, saying that the club “had contact” with the Argentine star, whose contract at PSG ends this June.
He’s still not renewed in Paris, begging the question where he’ll be playing his football next season. There have been several rumours of late which have placed him further and further away from the French capital. Only time will tell what the man from Rosario will end up doing come the summer.
Messi whistled at Parc des Princes once more
The relationship between the PSG fans and Leo Messi is not the best in the world. once more, the Parc des Princes’ crowd whistled and booed the name of the Argentine when they announced the starting line-up on the megaphone before the game against Lyon.
Paris Saint-Germain are still unforgiving for Leo Messi and the Argentine was whistled once more at home. Before the start of another game, the Parisian fans whistled the Argentinian World Cup champion.
The Parc des Princes’ fans repeated the gest to one of their players before the game. Galiter’s crew are currently at home to Olympique Lyonnais in another classic.
The man from Rosario is to play together with Kylian Mbappe up front for his side, but the PSG faithful are still sure that they prefer the Frenchman over the ex-Barcelona man.
The exact moment was when the loud speaker started to go through the starting-11 one by one before kick-off. It’s worth remembering that the number 30 decided not to applaud his fans after the 0-2 loss against Stade de Rennes.
