Former Barcelona forward, Sergio Aguero, has blasted French media for ‘killing’ Lionel Messi.
The Ex-Manchester City star made the disclosure while standing up for the Paris Saint-Germain’s forward after he was knocked for his poor display in PSG’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday, 15th.
The ex-Barcelona forward was rated 3 of 10 by French sports television channel, L’Equipe, following his ‘worrying’ flaccid display after he missed penalty kick in the 62nd minute of the match.

Real Madrid defender, Daniel Carvajal conceded the penalty after tripping France striker, Kylian Mbappe.
However, the 23-year-old France international eventually grabbed a goal during the injury time to ensure his side’s thin victory over Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
Aguero told RMC Sport: “What s**t this Leo penalty story. He played well, broke lines. He was good and very active.”
“In France, magazines and newspapers killed him. They are a******s.”
