 Jerome Rothen: 'For Messi, PSG is just a temporary stop'


The former PSG player said that Messi will find it difficult to achieve success in a PSG shirt like when he was playing for Barcelona.

"Lionel Messi will leave no mark at PSG. His career and life belong to Barcelona. Messi still misses the old city and always returns there during the holidays," Jerome Rothen told Marca.


"For Messi, PSG is just a temporary stop. Even he himself could not have imagined that he would play in Paris. Messi is certainly the best player in history, but now, he cannot compete. playing at the top level like when he was playing for Barca", the former PSG winger concluded.

According to Rothen, Messi is having many problems, one of which is that the striker does not have teammates like at Camp Nou. According to the former player born in 1978, PSG must solve many problems related to Messi. The players of this team also need to change to please "El Pulga".


"I think it will be difficult for Messi to shine like the way Zlatan Ibrahimovic did. He cannot stand in the ranks of the legends of this club," concluded Rothen.


Earlier, El Confidencial revealed Messi struggled with life in Paris for many reasons. The first obstacle of "El Pulga" is the language barrier. In addition, Messi's family cannot get used to the weather in the French capital. Before that, they were used to the cool, rainy climate in Barcelona.


Messi's current home is located in an area for the super-rich in Paris. This villa is 300 m2, but it does not have a football field, swimming pool and garden. When Messi was still at Barca, he had a habit of spending his free time sunbathing and playing with his sons in the garden.


After 14 appearances at PSG this season, the superstar born in 1987 has only scored 2 goals, but in return, he has 7 assists.


On February 16, Messi and his teammates will continue their journey to conquer the Champions League with the first leg of the round of 16 against Real Madrid at Parc des Princes.
