The chaos is total PSG at the end of the season. While the title of Champion of France is still not assured, the club of the capital must face various controversies striking important members, from players to coach. Last explosive case to date, the sanction imposed on Lionel Messi…
PSG suspends Lionel Messi…
Following the defeat of PSG facing FC Lorient on the lawn of the Parc des Princes (1-3), the sevenfold Ballon d’Or missed the training scheduled by the staff and flew to Saudi Arabia, for personal interests. However, while the Parisian leaders have often overlooked this kind of deviation from the stars of the team, Messi was suspended for a fortnight.

This Friday, a journalist from TyC Sports thus gives us a new unknown facet of this thorny dossier, which suggests a kind of revenge on the part of the PSG. Gaston Edul indeed explains that the club would have imposed this sanction on Messi not for his unauthorized trip, but rather for his refusal to extend.
