Paris Saint-Germain manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has
insisted that forward Lionel Messi is suffering from bad luck this season.
Messi completed a free transfer to PSG from his boyhood club,
Barcelona last summer.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has been slammed by PSG
fans and the media following a disappointing first season at the Parc des
Princes.
The Argentine captain has scored just four Ligue 1 goals
this season and then performed poorly as PSG were eliminated from the Champions
League at the hands of Real Madrid in the round of 16.
Speaking on Messi’s unimpressive stat in his debut campaign
at PSG, Pochettino was quoted by L’Equipe as saying: “I think it was due to bad
luck. It’s unbelievable because we could have won the game on that last play,
where he hits the bar.
“He’s a top-quality player, and I think he’s just suffering
from bad luck this season. Unfortunately, with all those posts, he didn’t have
the opportunity to score more goals.”
