Javier Pastore reflects on Lionel Messi’s two years at PSG, and in his opinion, the fans were unfair to the football legend.
Javier Pastore was adored in Paris. Speaking to Gianlucadimarzio.com, the former PSG player revisits his time at PSG, saying, “I don’t know if I was the most beloved Argentine in Paris, I don’t want to compare myself to others. I know that people love me a lot: their affection is the same as the one I tried to give them on the field. It’s something we built slowly, but today there is a beautiful love between me and the fans.”
However, Javier Pastore is critical of how Messi was treated. “I didn’t like how they treated Messi, as if it had happened to any other teammate. But that’s football and fans for you; they decide who they like and who they don’t…”
“For Leo, winning the World Cup against France had a significant impact. Anything slightly negative weighed a bit more on him because Argentina had won. But I can’t say more; I don’t like when people speak ill of a player,” he stated.
