He regretted his words, the lesson Messi gave to Pelé, who belittles him whenever he can

Although it is undeniable that Messi lowered his level last year, it would be unfair to criticize him, as he was adapting to a new team, a new dressing room and even a new country. Now, it has been proven that Messi is already back at his best, like he never left Barcelona.

Lionel Messi is still the best player in the world and this is proven by the statistics with the PSG shirt. His performance has been decisive for the Parisians to be leaders in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. However, some time ago Pelé underestimated him, while Xavi Hernández, a former teammate at Barcelona and current culé coach, highlighted the leadership of the '10'.

Shortly after the World Cup in Qatar, the captain of the Argentine national team stands out week after week with the PSG shirt. The 'Pulga' has 12 goals and 13 assists and the Parisian board hopes to convince him to extend his bond until 2025. However, from Fc Barcelona and Inter Miami they also dream of having Leo from mid-2023. 

In the midst of his uncertain future, some statements by Xavi Hernández appeared about Leo's leadership, with whom he coincided in the best culé team in history. The current DT of the Catalans, highlighted in the documentary about the Selection, which will premiere on Netflix: 'He always wants to win, he always wants the ball. This is pure leadership. A natural leader'.

While Xavi praises Leo, Pelé decided to put him down:

Years ago, the Brazilian, who is characterized by his foolish statements, indicated that Lionel Messi "is not a complete player", since he has ‘deficiencies’ when defining with the head or with the right foot. Under this same idea, the three-time world champion indicated that Cristiano Ronaldo is better than the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7).
