Defended him against the boos he received from a section of PSG fans
Lionel Messi was whistled at by a section of PSG‘s ultras fans in the run-up to the Parisian side’s 1-0 defeat to Lyon at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Then, neither Messi nor Kylian Mbappe were able to break down the defensive wall of the Lyon side.
Henry defends Messi against whistles
Henry, Messi‘s former teammate at Barcelona and a current television pundit, did not hesitate to defend the Argentine from the whistles.
“It’s shameful to hear the whistles at the Parc des Princes, you can’t whistle one of the best players in the team with 13 goals and 13 assists,” he said.
Henry wants Messi back at Barcelona
The former French footballer also shared on Prime Video France his desire to see Messi back at Barcelona.
“It’s not information, it’s a wish, that Messi has to return to Barcelona for the love of football and because he didn’t leave as he should have,” Henry said.
“The cries at his farewell show me that.”
Aguero reveals a key factor for Messi’s Barcelona return: They started to get a little closer
There has been a lot of talk over the past week about Lionel Messi potentially returning to Barcelona and Sergio Aguero, someone who knows the forward well, has spoken about that possibility.
The retired Argentine explained that the chanting of Messi‘s name during the Kings League Final Four might be key in convincing both parties to renew their relationship.
During that event at the Camp Nou, Messi‘s name was loudly chanted by the crowd and Aguero doesn’t think it’s a coincidence that Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste spoke about the Argentine’s possible return just days later.
“I heard what vice-president Rafa Yuste said the other day,” Aguero started during a chat with Ibai Llanos on Twitch.
“Did he say that because of what happened in the Kings League?
“People in Barcelona still love [Messi] a lot.
“It seems that, with what happened the other day, they started to get a little closer.”
