A few days before Messi’s last match with PSG, the betrayal of Mbappe and the captain towards Leo
Amid rumors of the departure of Lionel Messi (only official confirmation is missing), Neymar, Marco Verratti, Renato Sanches and Presnel Kimpembe from PSG, the club from the French capital announced the renewal of captain Marquinhos until 2028. After stamping the signature , the Brazilian gave statements to L’Equipe and threw a dart at the captain of the Argentine National Team.
As expected, the player from São Paulo was consulted about the information indicating that Kylian Mbappé will wear the bracelet starting next season. The one that emerged in Corinthians was in charge of making it clear that neither the president nor anyone from the club had contacted him to let him know. However, he immediately expressed something else that left evidence that he does not consider Messi a good leader.
“I’m the captain, but that doesn’t stop him from talking to others and taking the reins sometimes. (Kylian) Mbappé is not the only one. There is Sergio (Ramos), Marco (Verratti), all leaders. All of them can speak, there is no competition”, stated Marquinhos. Coincidence or not, he did not name the top winner of the Ballon d’Or among those players in the squad who had leadership skills, something that could generate great repercussions in the coming hours.
Marquinhos and the final he lost against Messi as captain
Despite the words of the PSG defender, the truth is that not long ago the Brazilian National Team fell precisely against Argentina at the Maracana in the framework of the 2021 Copa América final, a championship in which Lionel gave a great sample of leadership. Without going any further, the man from Rosario also demonstrated that he was capable of that role during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
