criticism is normal n cant argue d fact dt his form av dropped due to age bcoz he isnt younger any more..
are u expecting to see dt barca messi on his peak in PSG?? his form av dropped n same with ur cr7 but your likes are making it seems asif messi form is too poor while cr7 form is hot like dt of lewa or benzema..
the messi n cr7 we all.know normally do 50+ goals each season but this current sets av declined due to age...oga advance role.
if u say messi is finished, wat about cr7?? he is just getting started??
when u post to criticize messi, also criticize cr7 and when u post to hail ur man cr7, also gv accolades to messi
secondly, the messi we do see in Paris is playing an advance role behind neyma n mbappe, mainly as a midfielder or a playmaker n dts why his assist is more than goals but ur cr7 is more of a top9 in united n spend more time in d box n scores easily..
this PSG messi is more focused on winning titles, especially the UCL that goals, it seems ur cr7 is focused on goals n gat no worries about trophies

forget all these ur hate paulolee face the truth, Fans have the right to criticize him...Let's form aside, his dedication Isn't simply there...THERE is a huge difference between Barca's Messi & PSG'S Messi not in terms of forms only but also in terms of his mentality, desire & dedication...he has become the Pogba of PSG...when ppl defend him they still defend him on basis of his barca times but he & his fans Should remember his team is now PSG

Supporters in Africa have registered mixed reactions after the 34-year-old was subjected to another chorus of boos at Parc des Princes

A section of fans across Africa have expressed mixed reactions after Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi was yet again booed by his own fans during their Ligue 1 fixture against Lens on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Argentine star was subjected to jeers from the fans despite scoring the only goal in the 68th minute that helped the Parisians register a 1-1 draw against Franck Haise’s side and clinch their 10th Ligue 1 title at Le Parc des Princes.

This was the second time Messi, who joined the club on a free transfer from Barcelona last summer, was being booed by the fans, the first being after PSG’s defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16 fixture, where he was targeted alongside Neymar.


Despite scoring against Lens, he was still jeered by a section of home fans during the post-match celebrations and the action by the supporters left manager Mauricio Pochettino terming it as “unbelievable.”

“The whistles against Messi? It’s unbelievable. These are hard things to accept. A difficult situation to imagine and which cannot be understood in my opinion,” Pochettino said.

African fans have also joined the debate, and below is how they reacted to the boos directed towards Messi, who has only managed four Ligue 1 goals so far in the 2021-22 campaign from 20 appearances, on the GOAL Africa Facebook Page.

“Messi is a finished product,” Adekola Olamilekan Hakeem started the discussion while Nat Han seconded him: “He is finished they need to kick him out.”

Mohau Mofokeng opined the Argentine is finished alongside his rival Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United: “Messi is finished the same as Ronaldo. Their time is up, they need to go back to their boyhood clubs and finish their careers there while Kwaku A. Boateng said Messi was only meant to play for Barcelona: “Messi is only good in Barca team and that’s it.”

Meanwhile, Bashar Ibrahim has supported the action by the fans saying they have a right to do so because Messi has failed to live up to expectations: “They have the right to do so, he’s among the greatest players in the world but what has he done to PSG?”

Umoru Ameh explained PSG fans are frustrated because they wanted to win the Champions League after signing Messi: “They want Champions League. Simple. The way they got kicked out is unacceptable while Ilesanmi Godwin wrote: “Messi was too hyped when he came to PSG....too much expectation.”

Elsewhere, Milton Almonte feels Messi was riding his success behind Barcelona and it was good he moved to PSG for people to judge him: “In many ways it’s good he went to PSG so everyone was able to see his true colours."

Auwalu Hussaini Tambuwal said: “Only those blinded by sentiments will praise Messi and his performance this season.

“Messi is only good in Barcelona team and that is it,” added Kwaku A. Boateng.

However, a section of other supporters have defended Messi with Kweku Efford maintaining the Argentine is the best player of all time: “Messi is the best of all time while Adam Safi'ullah said despite having his worst season, he still won a trophy with PSG: “In his worst season he still won a trophy.”

Chidozie Richard Mbonu also said: “It’s only destructive critics that will boo the greatest footballer of all times while Chinonso Patric Nosaco wondered why he was being booed: “It’s unbelievable to whistle a player, who is bigger than your club,” same as Afam Bu Ikechukwu Saha, who said: “Why are they booing our world’s best?”

Does Messi deserve boos from PSG fans? Please give us your thoughts in the comment box below.

Messi fans are getting it hot hot .... they started hating on Ronaldo for no reason , just because he was breaking records... they insulted the living daylight out of him when he joined Juventus... they all made fun of him joining Juventus , saying he joined a team that was easily winning serie a , despite being their best player.... now the hypocrites dint talk when he joined psg that is even guaranteed a league title more than Juventus... now they want to celebrate the same type of easy league that they condemned... but this time Messi flopped ... they all said Ronaldo was signed to win the CL... but messi nko?? Was he signed to win the league that they hv won 8 times in the last 10 yrs ... now they want to celebrate that mediocre league title... I am happy that PSG fans shut them down .... they think its barca .... Mbappe is their god , Messi is just another player that flopped after signing for a big team ...but they don't wanna accept... they think its easy to join different leagues and be on top of ur game .... shey he was scoring French teams easily in the champions league... but cud only do 4 goals... thats to show how dumb his fans are.... they said he will scatter EPl just because he scored EPL teams lots if goals for Barcelona in the CL as if ,if he joined EPL , he will go with the whole barca squad.... not considering that he wud b a different team entirely .... now what all Ronaldo fans predicted is happening life ... una think say e easy to scatter different leagues.... Ronaldo will always be a greater player than Messi.... messi is just a barca legend .... imagine our kids and grand kids decades later checking Google, they will see Ronaldo's name as top scorers in the EPL , the la liga and serie A, the champions league and the national teams... messi will only show la liga ... as we hv always said...posterity will judge ... not by balon dor .... the guy go join French league thinking that it was the easiest for him to decieve his deluded fans , but the league cast am

How can you dedicate your life to looking for and spreading news of downfall/mistakes of someone. what kind of sadistic witch does that??

what kind of pathetic soul, dedicates his/her Precious time to spreading evil about a man hundreds of thousands of miles away, living his dream with his family??

A man who, you, your generation before and in the future will not see half of what he earns in a week!

I noticed your post, you tried to be objective but along the way you lost track.

Do not join in their myopia, only people who do not see football beyond goals can call Messi finished.

True he did not get many goals but this is only his first season after 20 years at Barcelona.
Also PSG is set up to make Mbappe the point man, just like Man U is set up to make Ronaldo the point man, even at that it is week 33 in the EPL and Ronaldo is on 16 league goals.

16 goals in week 33, Ronaldo is finished as well isnt he?


Whoscored.com ratings show that the only player who performed better than Messi this season is Mbappe.

Messi has better stats and season rating than every PSG player bar Mbappe.

Only an idiot would opine that a Ronaldo who got 16 goals and 3 assists and playing as a top 9 is on form while a Messi who got 4 goals and 13 assists playing not as a top 9 is finished.



All said and done, Messi and Ronaldo have competed for 15 years and would not be judged based only in the 2021/22 season.


Career Goal scoring
Career Assists
Career Individual awards; club and country
Career Team trophies; club and country


Above are the ways they will be judged...

Dmacqh:


Boss , I’m not judging Messi vs Ronaldo who is better this season . I’m judging only Messi season at PSG . Also , I responded that the fans have right to boo him.
I don’t use app or analysis to judge player . I watch matches . Apps are numbers . Same app will rate Bruno ahead of Kelvin if numbers are used .

Messi flopped this season . I don’t know if it’s added weight or less motivation or new environment.

If you want to compare Messi vs Ronaldo ... compare their first post season outside Spain . Ronaldo first season at Juventus vs Messi first season at PSG .

The idea of center forward I don’t see it’s enough reason , after all he’s not part of midfield 3 . He always part of Front 2 or 3 . If you judge him as a midfielder, he’s not the highest scoring midfielder. Messi and Fonaldo are attackers . Besides it’s not the first he dropping deep in midfield.

Which ever way , PSG fans have every right to boo him. He didn’t join them because he love them , he joined because of Barca inability to pay him for new contract . They didn’t sign him because they love him, they signed him to win UCL .

[b]Based on that , and the manner of their exit , and his zero contributions when it mattered most in UCL ( he even lost a penalty ) , he [/b]flopped .

The kids ND grandkids will also c it on Google dat Messi won more trophies,more individual awards Dan ur cronaldo,ND dey will knw who is d greatest.Its nt abt moving from one club to another,or playing for many clubs ND scoring,but was was ur achievement at dat club.Nicholas Anelka played for more Dan nine top clubs,but wat was his achievement Dere.Messi has paid his dues,pls stomach d fact dat he will always b greater Dan ur Cronaldo.Pele is regarded as the best player in this century,or d best of d rest,but most or almost his playing career ND achievement was at Boca juniors.so wat are u saying gangan?

Because you are myopic..

Very Very myopic!


What most of you are too myopic to understand is that it is very difficult to stay with one team for 15 years and succeed.

It is easy and opportunistic to jump to the biggest club in every country in the name of proving yourself.

Just imagine;

Playing in;

1. Manchester United team of 2005 to 2008; a top team with a top coach.
2. Real Madrid of 2009 to 2016; a top team with a top coach.
3. Juventus of 2007 to 2020; The best and biggest team in Italy by a long margin.


And then come out and open mouth waaaaaaa that you are proving yourself..



Just imagine remaining with Man U from 2009 to 2021.

Or
AC milan from 2004 to 2020.

In good times and bad times you stick with the team not jumping from one big rich club to another when they are in form and then tell us you are proving yourself.

There goes your selective amnesia.

So those games in the UCL against Man City, it did not "matter most" abi? Abi because it was in the group stage it did not matter?

And losing a PK in the first leg against Madrid was the reason why the went out? Not Donnaruma fumbling a pass he should easily have dealth with?

And if i may ask what did Ronaldo do "when it mattered most"?
Since you guys are in love with the clause "when it mattered most"

Am not saying an attacker isnt supposed to get goals but expecting a left or right attacking player or an attacking midfielder to score as many as a striker like Mbappe or Ronaldo is an anomaly.


Finally flopping is relative. By Messi's standards maybe yes.

And if getting 9 goal and 13 assists in the very first season of your new club after 20 years in one club is flopping according to you then it's up to you.

Kingcalls:


[s]So y did the fraud runaway when they started failing , y did he run to an established team ... Ronaldo played for 9yrs at Madrid that were mediocre when he joined and won 4 champions league titles and 2 league titles, joined Manchester that had arsenal dragging with them and Chelsea and city coming up with Liverpool rivalry and won back to back to back league titles and champions league... joined a juve team that were gradually becoming fossil and won back to back league titles... Ronaldo has been the most dominant player in the team he played for ( both clubs and Country) in every tournament for 15 consecutive years ... messi only did 11 yrs .... not forgetting that suarez was best in 2016 at barca ....

If Ronaldo na bugatti , Messi na lambo[/s]

Dmacqh:


You win boss . The main fans in France booed him . He should settle with them .
Without Messi PSG will qualify from their group. Without Messi PSG will win Ligue 1 .
If we are classifying strikers , Ronaldo , Mbappe are wingers.They drift inside from left wing .
Modern football, any front player is a striker . Wether you are operating from left , right or center.
What of Salah, Mane ?

Kingcalls:


Keep on deceiving urself ...b4 messi , there was di stephano and Zara ...no one really cares about winning only league titles... individual records with titles , especially in different countries will forever b remembered cos no one ever did it in history of football.... messi broke only barca and Argentina records... Ronaldo broke records in Manchester, Madrid, Turin and Portugal, broke champions league records and international football records...only one person ...firing hat tricks at age 37 back to back home games ... this world cup will be the finest of Ronaldo at 38
