Why Messi is struggling at PSG - Robert Pires

Former Arsenal player Robert Pires has revealed why Lionel Messi is struggling at Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi joined PSG on a free transfer from Barcelona last summer after the LaLiga giants declined to renew his contract.

Why Messi is struggling at PSG - Robert Pires

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has failed to make an impression at PSG.

Argentina’s captain was recently booed by PSG fans following their elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid.

However, Pires believes Messi is failing at PSG because the 34-year-old is adjusting to a change in environment, which he claims is difficult for anyone, including the striker.

Speaking on LiveScore, Pires said that, “Every country has a specific way of playing its football. That is why sometimes for a manager or a player, the time to adapt can be longer.

“Can you imagine we talk about Lionel Messi, one of the best players in the world and look at what happened with his move to PSG in France. I repeat, it takes time to adapt. Even for Messi it has been difficult because Ligue 1 is more physical than LaLiga.”

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
