Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has urged forward, Lionel Messi to leave Paris Saint-Germain and return to Barcelona this summer.
Henry’s comments came after Messi was booed by fans at the Parc des Princes as PSG fell to their second consecutive home defeat in French Ligue 1 against Lyon on Sunday.
The PSG home supporters whistled and booed their players off the pitch after the Lyon defeat, which included Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
Speaking on Amazon Prime after the game, Henry said it was embarrassing for the fans to boo Messi, saying the Argentina World Cup winner must return to Barcelona.
“It is embarrassing to hear whistles from the Parc. You can’t whistle one of the best players on the team, who has thirteen goals and thirteen assists this season,” Henry said.
“Personally, I would like to see him finish his career at Barcelona, in Europe. After that, I don’t know what he’ll do. Messi must return to Barcelona for the love of football and because he did not leave like he should have.”
