Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the ‘Star Corps’ representing the French professional football Ligue 1, is in an emergency. Following the 2022 Qatar World Cup scorer Kylian Mbappe (25), a local report appeared that even the’Golden Ball’ Lionel Messi (36) could leave.
French media L’Equipe said on the 10th (hereinafter Korean time), “Messi injured his hamstring in the 2022-23 Coupe de France (French Cup) match against Marseille the day before,” and “will miss the next regular league match against AS Monaco. Bayern Munich (Germany) and the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League round of 16 first leg is not certain,” he said.
Messi played full-time in the Cup de France round of 16 between PSG and Marseille on the 9th, but complained of hamstring pain after the game. PSG lost the match 1-2. 스포츠토토
PSG will play an away game against Monaco in the 23rd round of Ligue 1 at 1:00 am on the 12th, and at 5:00 am on the 15th, they will play a home game against Munich in the first leg of the round of 16 of the UCL.
In the League 1 regular league, PSG leads and can afford to lose one, but the problem is the UCL tournament. PSG’s core power is Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.
Among them, Mbappe, the team’s top scorer (13 goals), has already left due to injury. Mbappe injured his biceps femoris in his left thigh earlier this month and is estimated to be out for three weeks. If Messi is missing, PSG will have a fatal power vacuum.
