Paris Saint Germain just lost again, this time 3-1 at home against Lorient, undoubtedly being the surprise of the day, which is tenth in Ligue 1 and is clearly inferior to what Christophe Galtier's cast can give. But the most relevant thing was not in the final result, but in an action that Lionel Messi committed that undoubtedly caught everyone's attention, taking the controversy to an international level with an image that is touring the planet at the moment and is generating debate in every part of the world that watches football.

While Cristiano Ronaldo hung up on a rival last Monday, after being left out of the King's Cup of Saudi Arabia losing 0-1 against Al Wahda and making inappropriate gestures when they sang "Messi Messi" taking the lower zone, even yelling at his coach Dinko Jeličić, who is replacing Rudi García on an interim basis after being fired and until he finds a new manager. At the time of the event, many said that Lionel Messi would never do anything similar.

But the truth is that now Lionel Messi hit a rival and rebuked him with harsh words in the middle of a Paris Saint Germain match against Lorient, drawing the attention of the entire planet since it is not an attitude that reflects his career as a footballer and how he usually behaves within the field of play.
