La Liga president says PSG superstar Lionel Messi is missed by football
La Liga president Javier Tebas recently claimed that Lionel Messi is dearly missed by football as he took a cheeky dig at Ligue 1.
Tebas claimed that despite the Argentine shining at the French club this season, he is much less followed than when he was at Barcelona.
Messi joined the Parisians last summer after the Catalan club were unable to renew the player’s contract due to La Liga wage cap. He failed to make a good impression in France during his first season, scoring 11 goals and providing 15 assists in 34 games.
However, Messi has been shining this season, scoring 12 and assisting 13 goals in 17 games.
Tebas, however, said that despite Messi’s heroics, football is missing him. He told Ole Sports Summit (via GOAL):
Messi will next be seen in action when PSG square off against Juventus in the final league of the UEFA Champions League on Thursday, November 3.
