Philipp Lahm tears into ‘desperate’ Lionel Messi in unexpected rant

Phillip Lahm went in on Lionel Messi and his PSG teammates in an unexpected rant from the German legend.

The Bayern Munich legend recently gave his opinion on the Ligue 1 club following their Champions League exit at the hands of his former side.

PSG was easily brushed aside by the Bundesliga champions and in an interview with The Guardian, Lahm described Messi as "desperate" and "helpless."

“The individuals at PSG simply do not know how to collectively score a goal and, generally, how to contribute. Messi was helpless and desperate at the Allianz Arena.” Lahm said.

“One can feel sorry for PSG fans.

“Their hope that something will grow together dies anew every year. They surely believe in something else. PSG are as far away as ever from something to love, despite years of investment.

“This exorbitantly expensive team resemble a luxury department store, displaying precious exhibits that everyone marvels at but no one can afford.

“It guarantees high attention and spectacle, but only works economically. If so much money is spent but the opposite of quality is achieved, that is not good.”
