Lionel Messi at PSG - 'It's a failure, that simple': Expert analysis of ... (Eurosport.com)

PSG's season encountered more misery with a 2-0 home defeat to Rennes in Ligue 1, a match in which Lionel Messi was booed by his own fans.

Galtier was a big hope at the beginning of the season because of his tactics (3-4-3), the behaviour of his players on the pitch and his communication. “But the owners love selling shirts and having Kim Kardashian at PSG. The Champions League exit to Bayern was naturally seen as a huge blow, but perhaps also a wake-up call for the owners, who won’t want to pass up this opportunity to make PSG a true superpower in the game. They wanted to sell Neymar but nobody wants him and he wants to stay. After a good start to the season, PSG believes they can win the Champions League, but they get knocked out... They can't sell Mbappe because he is the project. The most likely option is this one: Galtier is fired, a new coach comes in. The Brazilian is 'lucky' to be out for the rest of the season as he has been seen as being way more problematic than Messi for years now.” It’s not just Messi who is in the spotlight. “It's a failure, that simple,” Morin says, assessing Messi’s time in the capital. Which says a lot, also, about the internal functioning at PSG.” He's seen as the symbol of PSG's strategy that hasn’t worked for years but still continues: more stars, less team spirit.

Lionel Messi's potential transfer may destroy or enhance legacy (The Ticker)

With the upcoming transfer window this June, Lionel Messi's goal is to flourish with other players, win grand titles and retire his name successfully in the ...

The only way this would work is if Xavi Hernandez, the head coach at Barcelona, also manages to recruit Argentine striker Julian Alvarez from Manchester City. Haaland was recorded to be in the 39th percentile for progressive carries and has 27 goals in the Premier League, thus cementing him as more of an individual star rather than a great team player. Manchester City would also likely lose several games in the process of adjusting to the unique players and their different play styles. Inter Miami also has high hopes in acquiring the legendary player and introducing him to the MLS. Manchester City, a fan favorite among the options, would be detrimental to Messi’s career. Messi left behind his legacy of world-class dribbling, playmaking and free-kick skills that made him a valuable asset to any team looking to improve their striking force.
