His own interpretation of the award to Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain after winning the World Cup in Qatar, Nasser El Khelaifi gave, on the occasion of the Argentine’s statements on the matter.
The former Paris superstar had given statementsin which he stated that of all the Albiceleste players, he was the only one who did not receive any recognition from his club after the victory over France in the final of the tournament.
“It is a topic that is much discussed by the world. I don’t know what he said and what he didn’t say“, the Qatari businessman initially said, according to Radio Monte Carlo.
“As the whole world saw, as we also posted videos, we celebrated Messi’s achievement in training, and we celebrated it privately. But we did it respectfully, as we must not forget that we are a French team, and therefore it would not be easy to have a party on the pitch. We should respect the country that Lionel won, his French (former) teammates, and also the fans. But he was and is an incredible player and we were very proud of him“, closed the strong man of the Parisians.
