Lionel Messi didn’t put up the most accomplished performance of his career against Real Madrid earlier in the week, but he wasn’t a disaster either. Sometimes too severe towards the Argentinian genius, the press, and in this case the French press, has been criticized for the media treatment reserved for La Pulga after this average match.
Many observers have come to the defense of Messi, such as his friend Sergio Aguero, or the coach of Gimnasia de La Plata, Néstor Gorosito. The Argentine manager returned to the French press, in comments relayed by TycSports, dropping an ironic little sentence about the French: “they know perfumes, not football”. In Argentina, we do not laugh with the respect of Lionel Messi.
