What Galtier said after Lionel Messi's absence in PSG's draw

'Donatello' has been criticized this season for his way of being. He quarreled with Neymar, shows his selfishness in every match towards Lionel Messi and criticized the game system of Christophe Galtier, PSG coach. The French striker is singled out for his behavior and questioned his obsession to appear above Leo.

Despite the world champion's attitude, the highest Ballon d'Or winner has become the main figure at PSG. He has eight goals and eight assists to his name between Ligue 1, French Super Cup and Champions League. In addition, he is the player with the most minutes in the current campaign and is reminiscent of what Ibrahimovic said years ago about the '10' of the Albiceleste.

What did the Sweden say about his former teammate?

Interviewed by ESPN in 2016, the former Barcelona and PSG player argued: 'I think Messi is unique. What he is doing. I don't know if we will see another footballer do what he does because he has his style of play and I don't think it's possible to become a player like that. That's why I say he's unique. I've said it before: 'it's like playing PlayStation. You give the guy the ball and he starts running away from all his opponents. That's Messi.'
