Former Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has narrated why his pal Lionel Messi is struggling at French club Paris Saint-Germain, GOAL reports.
The South American pair are best of friends and Suarez has disclosed that the cold weather is why the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is struggling in the French capital.
Both players were teammates at Spanish side Barcelona where Messi was captain before he was ousted during the summer due to the financial status of the Catalan club.
Suarez was allowed to leave Barcelona for free in the summer of 2020 and a year later, Messi left to join PSG by penning a £650,000-a-week deal at PSG.
Messi’s move to France led him to reunite with ex-Barca star Neymar as he formed part of an attacking trio along with Kylian Mbappe.
But despite that Mauricio Pochettino’s side are top of the Ligue 1 standings, Messi has only managed to score four goals as he appears to be struggling to adapt.
