Mauricio Pochettino kicked Lionel Messi off the field against Lyon, and it didn’t go unnoticed.
Paris (Nettvizen): Lionel Messi finally appeared in front of his new fans, and was only a few centimeters away from scoring his first goal after a free kick in the metal.
On the other hand, the 34-year-old was replaced by the quarterback again when PSG needed to score, and photos showed that the Argentine was very unhappy with that.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino extended his hand to thank his compatriot, but did not receive any response from Messi, who walked past and sat on the bench.
– He looked so unhappy when he was taken out. He sets high standards for himself. Dirksport commentator Robin Haugen said when he was replaced by Messi, when he is eliminated from the 1-1 position, he will be disappointed.

– Totally silly
The photos got a lot of attention in both newspapers and social media around the world, as it was rare to see the Argentine superstar being replaced without injury or other medical reasons.
Some believe Pochettino is in a power struggle against Messi, and he made the switch to confirm a point for the rest of the group to show who decides.
– Shoot that clown, writes Nigerian columnist Japheth J. Omojuwa on his Twitter account with over 1 million followers.

It continues with a new message:
– PSG should have won by a larger margin against such a team, with the effect it made in the team. He also had no reason to change Messi. What goal was he trying to reach and to whom?
– He’s trying to get him fired now, wrote CBS journalist Luis Miguel Echegare.
While Stan Collymore, a former Liverpool and Aston Villa player, believes it is wrong to call for Pochettino’s resignation after the incident.
Do you know when children and illiterates dominated football? When Messi is substituted 1-1 and PSG wins the match because of the change, then people say ‘You don’t replace Messi, Pochettino deserves to be sacked’. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Disclosed
Pochettino himself had to use parts of the post-match press conference to explain the choice to sack one of the best footballers of all time.
– I had to make the best decisions for the team. Sometimes they are positive and sometimes they are not. I came here to make decisions, whether I liked it or not.

We have a great team of 35 players, and there are many great players. I asked Messi if everything was ok when I took him off, then he said yes, the Argentine told the press after the match.
French newspaper L´Equipe also ranked all the players on the pitch after the big showdown at the Parc de Princes, where Messi got six out of ten.
He took part in most of what Paris made in the first half, and gave a great free kick right before the break. However, it became less visible after the break, and was eventually replaced by Achraf Hakimi, he writes Newspaper.
His teammates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe scored seven and five in a row in the stock exchange, after the first counted the score 1-1 on penalties and Mbappe served Icardi, who scored the winning goal.
