Lionel Messi may be loved worldwide, but he’s not very popular in the Spanish capital at the moment.

Messi has drawn criticism from Real Madrid fans after his recent comments about the La Liga champions.

Speaking about last season’s UEFA Champions League, the former Barcelona attacker suggested that his Paris Saint-Germain side were better than Madrid.

He added that PSG only lost the tie to Los Blancos because of small details during the game, The Mirror reported. Messi suggested that Madrid weren’t the best side in the tournament, and neither were they the best side during their two games against PSG.

Real beat PSG 3-2 on aggregate and went on to lift the Champions League trophy. The comments didn’t sit well with Madrid fans, and now club legend Guti has also weighed in on the matter, Madrid Universal reported.

The former Madrid midfielder, who has played more than 500 games for the side, fired back at the Argentinian maestro. Guti questioned Messi by asking how one evaluates which team is the best. He added that PSG had two chances to prove they were better and couldn’t do so.

PSG won the first leg tie 1-0 thanks to a Kylian Mbappe goal but then lost the second leg 3-1. The second leg was defined by a 17-minute hat-trick by Karim Benzema.

Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi insists Real Madrid were lucky to win the 2021/22 Champions League.

Los Blancos defeated PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City en route to the final, pipping six-time European winners Liverpool to win the Champions League.

PSG's elimination against Carlo Ancelotti's men in the round of 16 was a huge blow for the Parisians, and Messi still hasn’t managed to forget it.
