The now former Paris Saint-Germain player took a hard blow from the French.

Lionel Messi's departure from Paris Saint-Germain was largely due to his relationship with the fans of the French club, which meant that his stay in France was not the best. Although his first season was difficult due to his adaptation after spending 21 years defending the FC Barcelona jersey, the truth is that his second season was one of the best on an individual level.

The Argentine participated in 41 commitments in all competitions throughout the course, in which he scored 21 goals and distributed 20 assists. In fact, in the 32 league games he scored 16 times and made the same number of assists, which means the great influence that the former Barça had.

Messi was involved in at least one goal in each of the matches he played this season with the Parisian shirt, although this does not seem to have been enough for the fans of Ligue 1. And it is that the French competition has defined its ideal eleven, just on the day of his 36th birthday, and the current world champion does not appear among the members of the team.

The strikers who finished Messi above

The French public does not quite like Messi as an elite player despite his great statistics and the impact on the pitch. The vote ended up positioning Loïs Openda, with 21 goals and 4 assists, and Alexandre Lacazette, with 27 goals and 5 assists, above the Argentine number 10. Something difficult to explain.
