Lionel Messi Leaves PSG Training Early Amid Tensions With Galtier

Paris Saint-Germain’s star forward Lionel Messi was seen leaving team training ahead of schedule on March 17 after a clash in mood with head coach Christophe Galtier, according to a report shared on social media by Djamel. The incident appears to have stemmed from Messi’s reaction to the set of drills that were on the agenda that day, which did not sit well with the Argentine great. Galtier attempted to calm the situation and persuade Messi to stay on the pitch, but the seven-time Ballon dOr winner chose to head home, signaling a rare moment of friction within the squad during a season already under intense scrutiny. The episode adds another layer to ongoing discussions about Messi’s future in Paris and how the current coaching approach aligns with his expectations, as noted in follow-up updates from sports outlets. — Source: PSG coverage report
