In any case, that is the opinion of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, former teammate of Messi at Barcelona and former player of the Parisians. “We should not pretend that this loss is his fault,” the Swede defends his former teammate in conversation with Foot Mercato. “Messi has not lost, Inter Miami has lost. Have you seen that team? His teammates … Messi plays with statues, that are not teammates!”

“Messi is still Messi. Give him a real team and he turns the stadium upside down,” says Zlatan convinced. “If he would play in a top team at Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City or anywhere, you would see the lion come loose in him.”

“Messi plays at Inter Miami mainly because he still loves the game, because he can do something that 99 percent of the players cannot do. But he is surrounded by players who seem to walk on their backs with a bag of cement. They don’t understand where they have to walk,” said Ibrahimovic.
