PSG: Lionel Messi Must Return To Barcelona – Says Thierry Henry

French professional football coach and Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has urged Argentine star, Lionel Messi, to leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and return to Barcelona this summer.

Naija News understands that PSG suffered an embarrassing defeat to Lyon in their French Ligue 1 match on Sunday, April 2, 2023.

This is PSG’s second consecutive home defeat in French Ligue 1. The PSG home supporters were whistling and booing their players off the pitch after the Lyon defeat, including Messi and Kylian Mbappe.

Speaking on Amazon Prime after the game, Henry said it was embarrassing for the fans to boo Messi, saying the Argentina World Cup winner must return to Barcelona.

“It is embarrassing to hear whistles from the Parc. You can’t whistle one of the best players on the team, who has thirteen goals and thirteen assists this season,” Henry said.

The 45-year-old former player added: “Personally, I would like to see him finish his career at Barcelona, in Europe. After that, I don’t know what he’ll do. Messi must return to Barcelona for the love of football and because he did not leave like he should have.”
