The son of the late Argentine legend, Diego Armando Maradona, has sparked controversy after his recent statements about his compatriot Lionel Messi and that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain soon.
Maradona Sinagra made statements through his interview with the Catalan newspaper Sport, in which he said: “I am convinced that Messi will return to Barcelona, perhaps next summer, because he does not seem happy in Paris.
Messi joined his current club, Paris Saint-Germain, in the Mercato last summer, after ending his relationship with his club of history, and the Catalan fans wish themselves to return their icon one day.
“Of course (Leo) is a great player, but his place is undoubtedly Barcelona,” the son of the legend continued.
The son of the Argentine legend refused to compare Messi to his father, and said: “Maradona is incomparable, and the comparisons taking place in Argentina and all countries of the world are illogical. Messi is a distinguished player, but he comes second behind Maradona in the history of football.
When asked about the club’s level at the moment, Sinagra replied, “The club is adapting to it well, and I think players like Dembele, Aubameyang, Ferran Torres, Adama Traore and Frenkie de Jong make up a good strength for the team.”
And he continued, “The Argentine national team’s victory in the Copa America last year, not only lifted the burden on Messi, but the entire country.
He concluded his speech: “We had a wonderful generation that included Di Maria, Higuain and Mascherano and did not achieve anything, but it faced some opposite circumstances, such as not awarding a flagrant penalty in the final match, in which we manipulated the German national team, but the opponent won one ball on goal.
