Benzema: ‘Anyone who criticizes Messi has no idea about football’
Karim Benzema has no doubts about Lionel Messi’s performance at Paris Saint-Germain and claimed in the interview he gave to France’s Telefoot that anyone who criticizes the Argentine has no idea about football.
Lionel Messi returned to Paris Saint-Germain action for the game against Reims (23/1, 21:45, Novasports 2HD and live by Sportish), almost 20 days after being diagnosed positive for coronavirus in his home country during the Christmas holidays which was what delayed his return to France.
The Argentinian superstar has worn the Paris shirt since last August but his performances have not resembled his good self at Barcelona, which has often been commented on as he has hit the net six times in 16 games.
However, Karim Benzema was keen to put things right after speaking to Telefoot about his longtime rival. In fact, the France international claimed from Real whoever judges that they have no clue about football.
“How can he not do it in Paris? It’s just an adjustment period because he doesn’t score many goals. But look what he’s doing on the pitch.” Anyway, you can’t criticize a player like that. “Anyone who criticizes Messi doesn’t really understand anything about football.”

Paris: “We completely reject any plan for the so-called Super League”
The European Super League wants to change the situation in European football, but at the moment it is difficult to find many strong allies, with Paris having made it clear that it has no intention whatsoever of becoming part of this league.
The General Court of the European Union on Thursday (December 21) accepted the appeal of A22, which represents the European Super League, against the monopoly of UEFA and FIFA, ruling that the European associations do not have the right to authorize interclub competition.
This fact gave Barcelona and Real, who are leading the effort to create the ESL, the right to talk about a new era that is dawning in the football of the old continent, but their dream of leaving aside the European Football Federation will not come true is easy .
And that is because they are currently facing numerous hurdles erected by famous European teams that do not want to leave the UEFA umbrella, including Paris, which expresses its categorical rejection of the prospect of creating the new organization.
“Paris Saint-Germain strongly rejects any plan for the so-called Super League, which has been in place since day one and will always remain so.
As a proud European institution, Paris supports the principles of the European sports model, the values of open competition and inclusion, and collaborates with all recognized bodies in European football.
Especially with the fans and the players who are at the heart of the game.”says the corresponding announcement on Wednesday, which bears the signature of Paris President Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
