Coach Christophe Galtier speaks out about Messi and amid turmoil at PSG

"I am in regular contact with Luis Campos (PSG's sporting director). I also meet the club president often, before or after the match. However, we have not yet talked about preparations for the new season. Are there many names that will replace me? That doesn't bother me at all! That's what you write and what I see every day," coach Christophe Galtier shared in a press conference before the match.

Coach Christophe Galtier is under a lot of pressure even though PSG is about to win Ligue 1

Regarding the situation of superstar Messi, coach Christophe Galtier gave his opinion: "I hear and witness a lot of criticism of Messi. But when he is having a season with the number of goals (20 goals) and assists (20 scoring opportunities), in a total of 39 matches. Obviously, that is a super performance. I think Messi has had an extremely successful season with PSG".

Also according to coach Christophe Galtier: "Messi is football. I see him every day on the training ground and in matches. Messi has done his job very well, no one can criticize him. We are very happy that Messi has come to France. He embodies the essence of football and his commitment to this sport is commendable."

According to journalist Loic Tanzi of L'Equipe : "Coach Christophe Galtier's statements about his situation as well as about Messi, show that they are almost farewell words after this season ends. PSG is looking for a new coach, while Messi is no longer interested in negotiating a contract extension after criticism from fans."

Messi is focused on completing the current season with PSG with the Ligue 1 title within reach.

The remaining goal of coach Christophe Galtier and Messi is to complete the current season with PSG with the Ligue 1 championship in hand. Messi has another goal to strive for in the remaining 2 matches with PSG: he needs 2 more assists to break the record of the player with the most assists in the season, the Argentine superstar currently has 16 assists in Ligue 1.
