How Messi Was ‘Forgotten’ by PSG…

--:--
In a public interview, 2022 FIFA World Cup Winner Lionel Messi openly admitted that his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 'failed' to congratulate him when returning from his World Cup triumph. This allegation has spread like wildfire, with the president of the Paris-based club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, squashing the truth behind Messi's statement. "French fans are extremely hostile, so if Messi was to be paraded in the capital, it would have been ill-received," says Kamogelo Motecwane on the latest episode of the International News Desk.

On the latest episode of the International News Desk, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Sheffield Wednesday goalie Sean Roberts breaks down the latest news surrounding Lionel Messi with Soccer Laduma International news correspondent, Kamogelo Motecwane. The lads discuss the upcoming English Premier League and UEFA Champions League fixtures, and break down a tough question about Neymar during Seeking the Socials.
