Even if they end up winning the Ligue 1 for the second straight year, itâs safe to say this season hasnât gone according to plan for PSG. Especially for Lionel Messi -if we only consider the club level, of course.
The Argentine star managed to put up better numbers than last year, but he was still blamed for the teamâs problems throughout the season. Paris Saint-Germain once again failed to get past the UEFA Champions League round of 16 and also lost more league games than in the 2021-22.
Messiâs relationship with the fans looks broken, as he has constantly been whistled and booed at the Parc des Princes. To make things worse, now he would be punished after missing training.
Lionel Messi would face 2-week sanction from PSG after missing training
Messi missed Monday practice due to atrip to Saudi Arabia with his family, which he reportedly hadscheduled some time ago as part of his role as the countryâs tourism ambassador. PSG originally had a day off, but things changed after they shockingly lost at home to Lorient on Sunday.
According to RMC Sport, PSGâs front office has decided to suspend Messi for two weeks with immediate effect as soon as he gets back. This would certainly bea strong decision by the club, considering that theyâre challenging for the league title.
