PSG president Al-Khelaifi: What's Messi talking about? We're actually a French club....

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has fired back at former star Leo Messi.

Now with Inter Miami, Messi has complained there was no formal congratulations from PSG for winning the World Cup with Argentina after his return from Qatar last season.

However, Al-Khelaifi points out the triumph was achieved against France in the final.

He declared: “We talk a lot to the outside world. I don't know what he said or what he didn't say. As everyone has seen - we even published a video - we celebrated Messi in training (when he won the World Cup), and we also celebrated him in private. But with respect.

“We are a French club. He is an incredible player. We were proud to have him here."
