Thierry Henry Urges Lionel Messi to Return to Barcelona
Thierry Henry has urged Lionel Messi to go back to FC Barcelona and branded the whistling of the Paris Saint-Germain star by fans as ‘embarrassing’.
Some Paris Saint-Germain fans whistled Lionel Messi when his name was announced before their Ligue 1 match against Lyon. PSG would go on to lose the game 1-0.
Lionel Messi’s contract situation has led to speculation surrounding the future of the Argentine superstar. He has also been linked with a move back to Barcelona, while Major League Soccer side Inter Miami are also reportedly interested in the services of Messi.
Speaking on Amazon Prime, Thierry Henry branded PSG fans’ whistling of Lionel Messi as ‘embarrassing’. He criticized PSG fans for whistling one of the best players on the team.
Thierry Henry also said he would like to see Lionel Messi finish his career at Barcelona. He also urged Messi to return to Barcelona for the love of football.
“Personally, I would like to see him finish his career at Barcelona, in Europe. After that, I don’t know what he will do. Because of the way he left Barcelona after everything he did… I didn’t really like it. For the love of football, he should go back to Barcelona.”
Lionel Messi has largely been impressive for PSG in the current campaign. The Argentine attacker has amassed 18 goals and 17 assists for PSG in the ongoing 22/23 season. 13 of those goals and 13 of those assists have come in Ligue 1, where PSG are the table-toppers.
However, the two consecutive defeats PSG have suffered in Ligue 1 in their most recent fixtures have seen their lead at the top of the table reduce to six points. PSG now have 66 points from 29 matches, while second-placed Lens and third-placed Marseille have 60 points from 29 matches.
