Javier Pastore got something to say about how Messi was treated.

Lionel Messi arrived at Paris Saint-Germain as the best player in the world, however, he passed without pain or glory, since he did not win any important title and they failed in the UEFA Champions League. Furthermore, the problem that Lionel Messi had was with the PSG fans, because they never liked him and he even suffered constant boos.

After the terrible treatment that Messi received, now a Paris Saint-Germain legend defended the Argentinian and also sent a message to the club's fans, as if to scold him, however, it was just a reflection.

Javier Pastore said the following: The Argentine striker was at PSG between 2011 and 2018 and earned the affection of the fans. In dialogue with the journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Pastore pointed out that “I don't know if I was the most loved Argentine in Paris, I don't want to compare myself with the others. I am aware that people love me very much: their affection is the same that I tried to reciprocate in the field.

Today there is a very beautiful love between the fans and me." "I don't like how they treated Messi, as if he happened to any other teammate. But football and the fans are like that, they decide who they want or not... The victory in the World Cup against France had a huge impact. Everything that was a little negative made it weigh a little more because Argentina had won. But I couldn't tell you more, I don't like people speaking badly about a player,” he said regarding what Messi experienced.
