PSG's 'pride' has been harmed by Lionel Messi's trip to Saudi Arabia, according to Thierry Henry.
Paris Saint-Germain's suspension of Lionel Messi for two matches may have been caused by the damage to the club's pride following his unsanctioned and sponsored trip to Saudi Arabia, according to Thierry Henry. While Henry admitted that Messi was wrong to miss training, he speculated that the Qatari owners of PSG may have been particularly annoyed due to the country that the Argentine chose to visit. Henry suggested that the suspension could be interpreted as a sign that the club has given up on Messi, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Messi issued an apology to the club and his teammates after the incident, explaining that he thought he had a day off and could not cancel the journey. However, his suspension has fueled speculation that he may have already played his final game for PSG. With just three matches remaining when his suspension ends and tensions already high between Messi and the club, it is possible that his time at PSG may soon come to an end.
The Argentine has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, though a return to Barcelona or a deal with Inter Miami are also possibilities. PSG has been struggling to maintain its dominance in the Ligue 1 this season, which has heightened tensions between Messi and the club. While Messi's suspension may be a sign that the club has given up on him, it could also be seen as an attempt to motivate the rest of the team to perform better in his absence.
Messi was dropped from the squad for Sunday's game against Troyes and will also be absent for the following match against Ajaccio. He is expected to return to action against Auxerre on May 21 as PSG tries to win the Ligue 1 title. However, the Argentine's suspension has left many wondering whether he will be a part of the team's future plans. Despite his absence, PSG managed to defeat Troyes 2-1 to maintain their lead at the top of the league standings.
The controversy surrounding Messi's trip to Saudi Arabia has highlighted the ongoing power struggle between players and clubs in modern football. While players have become increasingly vocal about their desire for greater autonomy, clubs remain determined to exert control over their players and maintain their dominance over the sport. Messi's suspension is just the latest example of this struggle, and it remains to be seen how it will impact his future with
