Sergi Roberto doesn’t understand Messi’s treatment
After Barça’s victory in the Clasico this Sunday (2-1), Sergi Roberto confided in journalist Gerard Romero on a possible Lionel Messi at Barça. “Who won’t be ready for Messi to come back? At the end of the day, we don’t want to talk too much because it’s up to him to decide, the president, the coach or whoever else, but if it’s for the players, we’re already waiting for it.”
Relaunched on the treatment that the Argentinian receives at PSG (whistles were heard at the Park during the reception of Rennes), the Catalan defender does not understand the behavior of the supporters of the capital club. “He is having good seasons in Paris, he scores a lot of goals, he makes assists. Because of the elimination, they attacked him, but he is a spectacular player and it is very bad that a player of this level is treated this way. We will treat him very well here if he comes.”
