Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has seen his performances come under the spotlight in recent weeks, particularly following his missed penalty during the win over Real Madrid
Paris Saint-Germain’s rivals have been warned that criticism of Lionel Messi could yet inspire an historic end to the season.
Messi shocked the footballing world last summer, when he pulled the curtain down on his illustrious Barcelona career, with the two parties unable to come to an agreement on a new deal.
After joining PSG on a two-year deal, there were high expectations that the Argentine icon could run riot in what is perceived as a weaker competition.
However, the 34-year-old has been outshone by strike partner Kylian Mbappe and he has found the net on just two occasions in Ligue 1.
Mbappe was forced to bail out his veteran team-mate in midweek, scoring an injury-time winner against Real Madrid, after Messi had missed a second-half penalty.
