PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe has said that he does not understand how the club’s fans rejoiced over the departure of Lionel Messi from Parc des Princes.
PSG supporters, who had maintained their stand that the former Barcelona man was simply a waste of funds for the Parisians, celebrated his eventual departure.
Messi decided against renewing his contract with the Parisians, which is set to expire at the end of this month.
Also the Argentine’s unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia saw him draw the ire of fans as well as a suspension and fine from the club a few months ago.
Messi is now set to join Major League Soccer side Inter Miami CF as a free agent. For the first time since news of Lionel Messi’s departure from PSG emerged, Mbappe has spoken about the Argentine legend’s exit.
The French superstar told Gazzetta, “He’s one of greatest players in the history of football. It’s never good news when someone like Messi leaves.
“I don’t quite understand why so many people were so relieved that he was gone. He didn’t get the respect he deserved in France.”
