Darren Bent commented that if Messi returns to Barca, the smile on his face will also return.

After Paris Saint-Germain were once again eliminated in the Champions League, Messi once again bid farewell to the Champions League trophy, although this trophy is not indispensable for him. After coming to Paris from Barca, Messi, who is already 35 years old, has not played as brightly as at Barca. In 23 of the 25 appearances for Paris, Messi scored only seven goals and provided 10 assists, and in 17 ligue 1 games, Messi scored 2 goals and 10 assists. This may already be a very good statistic for other ordinary players, but for Messi, people tend to expect more.
Commenting on Messi's performance, Darren Bent commented on the talkSPORT radio show: "Messi is in Paris now, like Marcus Rashford is at Manchester United, in my opinion. Marcus Rashford looked miserable at Manchester United and so did Messi, with a face like 'I don't want to stay here'. Against Real Madrid, Messi did have a good one or two feet to handle, but he is Messi, and this is far from enough. ”
"If Messi comes back to Barca, maybe the smile on his face will come back. Messi doesn't look like a good fit for Paris Saint-Germain, and in this paris team, we don't see Messi who is ahead of everyone else. Messi didn't want to leave in the first place, maybe he was thinking 'I wish I could go back to Barca'. Darren Bent said.
In Paris Saint-Germain, Messi's weekly salary after tax is as high as 1.2 million euros, and the annual salary is 35 million euros, which means that Messi's pre-tax annual salary is as high as 63 million euros. In addition, Messi also received a signing fee of 25 million euros in Paris.
