Paris Saint-Germain midfielder and Argentina international Leandro Paredes has explained how teammate Lionel Messi “wanted to kill” him following a comment during a match.
The two players are alongside at each other at club and international level but the midfielder was referring to Messi’s time at Barcelona, when his side crashed to a 4-1 home defeat against PSG in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash in the 2020-21 campaign.
Things have not gone to plan for the Argentine superstar following on from his high-profile summer transfer from the Camp Nou to Paris last year as he has struggled to find top form, while he was on the wrong end of a heavy defeat against the French side six months before his move.
