After Benzema scored his third goal, the Champions League trip to Paris came to an end. After the game, frustration was written on the faces of every player in Paris. Messi's frustration was particularly glaring on this night, as it was his seventh consecutive season in the Champions League knockout rounds or a major defeat. After the game, Messi's disappointing trip to the Champions League undoubtedly became the focus of discussion. Paris spent a lot of money to take it to the Parc des Princes, in order to go further in the Champions League, and in the end, judging from the results, not only did not "advance", but took a big step back.
The Champions League exit also disappointed the fans of The Greater Paris, who chose to vent their anger on Messi. In last weekend's league match against Bordeaux, Messi was booed by big Paris fans. His wife, Antonella, was in the stands, and she must have felt very unhappy when she witnessed this scene.
After the match, the Spanish media began to report that Messi intended to leave Paris to return to Barca. According to Barca and team reporter Romero, Barca's father has contacted Barca to discuss the possibility of returning to Camp Nou.
From the cheers of the whole city to the boos of the Parc des Princes, it has only been more than half a year. Messi's marriage to Greater Paris seems doomed to a tragic end.
So does Messi want to go back to Barca? The answer is self-evident. He returned to the team last summer with the idea of renewing his contract with Barca, but was eventually told by Laporta that he could not sign a new contract. At the farewell press conference, Messi's tears explained everything, he did not want to leave Barca. He may have had this thought, but it was only briefly present. After leaving Barca, he also said that he hoped to return to Barca one day, and for that, he only loved and did not hate.
No matter how warmly the Paris fans gave him a warm welcome that summer, Barca was always his home. Now I don't feel love in a foreign country, and it is only natural to miss Barcelona. Is there a possibility of Messi returning to Barca? Yes, but very low, the key depends on the attitude of Laporta and Harvey.
First of all, the attitude of Barça's top brass. Laporta's external statement is that the team's economic situation is bad, and it is unable to sign Messi due to the salary cap of La Liga. But in fact, he had a plan to let messi go early in his heart, just like when he released Xiao Luo, the core of Dream II, he hoped to create a new dynasty. As for what I hope Messi will play for Barca for free, it is even more pitiful and wants to save his own personality.
From media reports over the past period of time, it can be seen that Laporta's number one target this summer is Haaland, bringing back a new forward banner for the team. All his efforts on the economic level since he took office have been aimed at making Barca more competitive this summer.
Second, Harvey's attitude. In their latest La Liga match, Barca beat Osasuna 4-0 to return to La Liga's top three. Now this Barca team has begun to brand Xavi, and the team has added more tactical content to the pass control. In addition, the young people of the team are full of vitality, resolutely implementing the frontcourt counter-attack tactics, and the dominance of the Dream Iii period began to return little by little.
If Messi returns, it is bound to become the tactical core of the team. Messi is basically not involved in defense now, missing a link, or not enough strength, the intensity of Barca's front court pressure is difficult to play. As a rotating player, Messi will certainly not accept such a positioning. Now that Barca's rebuilding has seen the light, what the summer window needs is to replenish fresh blood in individual key positions, rather than bringing back 34-year-old Messi. When messi was sent away, Barca was ready for the period of pain, and now it is difficult to get out of the head and bring Messi back? This is obviously not possible.
After seeing reports that Messi intends to return to Barca, the reaction of the fans is almost unanimous - against it. "Don't! It's true! Free and not! "To be honest, Barça is rebuilding very well now and should not go back." "Barca is getting better, Messi don't come back and mix it up." ”......
Messi is certain that he is unhappy in Paris, but he cannot choose to leave now. Mbappe's joining Real Madrid at the end of the season is a foregone conclusion, when Messi will be the absolute frontcourt core of Paris. In addition, The Greater Paris will also change coaches this summer, new coaches will bring new ways of playing, messi has the opportunity to prove themselves again. And in the short term, the chances of competing for the Champions League in Paris are certainly greater than those of Barcelona, and it is reasonable to stay and fight again.
