Sergio Aguero Says Lionel Messi Critics Are 'A**holes' In Furious Rant After He Was Given 3/10 Rating

But eventually, after bags of possession and chances, PSG's dominance eventually paid off with a late winner.

They wrote: "There's something sad about seeing him like that. In the first period, in this position almost as a midfielder, the Argentinian was available but he missed so narrowly (with the exception of his pass for Mbappe)

"In the one-on-one, he suffered the athletic impact. His second period is better: he provides some effective relays.

"But he weighs down his record with his failed or blocked attempts (53rd, 75th) and this penalty saved. This Messi is worrying."

“Leo played well, he broke lines. I’m not saying that because he’s a friend, but because he played hard. He was good and very active," the former Manchester City striker said on his Twitch channel.

“In France, magazines and newspapers killed him. They are a**holes. I had an interview scheduled with a French magazine, but I said: ‘No, because I support Leo Messi. Period.

"So goodbye, see you soon.’ Now I’m angry.”

”Of course, in terms of merchandising, it’s wonderful to have attracted Leo Messi," he told RMC Sport. "People come to see Messi play at PSG. But you have to recognise that in a sporting context, he brings nothing to PSG.

“The biggest problem is that this was a great match, that’s where we expect the great players to perform and tonight it was more of a drag than anything else.

“There are technical errors, losses of the ball, the missed penalty – but it can happen to anyone. It’s, above all, his behaviour. He looks down at his boots, it looks like he’s not happy.”
