Former PSG forward Jerome Rothen believes Lionel Messi would have scored at least 30 goals and supplied 35 assists for the club this season if he cared about the club.
Argentina international, according to Jerome, never respected the club and was uninterested in performing well on the field.
Despite scoring 31 goals and giving 35 assists in 73 outings for PSG, the former PSG player says this.
Messi joined the club as a free agent in 2021 and is set to leave this summer when his contract expires.
According to Jerome,
“By being much more invested and more combative, if he had respected the club a little more, he would be at 30 goals and 35 assists.
“This title of best passer will not hide his average record. Then we talk about Messi. When you have won seven Ballons d’Or, a World Cup and as many titles, I think beating Angel Di Maria or Jérôme Rothen doesn’t matter.”
