Henry, once again, talks about Lionel Messi and his relationship with the Paris Saint-Germain supporters.
Lionel Messi was once again subjected to boos by Paris Saint-Germain supporters, and again, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has come to his defence.
The 35-year-old returned to action over the weekend in Paris Saint-Germain's home win over Ajaccio, and in moments, he was on the receiving end of jeers by the Parisian supporters.
Henry, who was his teammate at Barcelona, had previously defended him, believing a player of such status should not be on the receiving end of such treatment. Following the game, he reprised the role, speaking for his fellow 2008/09 UCL winner.

Oil-rich Newcastle in talks to sign 'Turkish Messi' in £20m deal
Newcastle United are reportedly leading the race to sign the highly-rated Arda Guler who has been dubbed the ‘next Lionel Messi’.
What Henry said about Messi
The former Monaco manager had no issues with PSG's decision to suspend Messi, as he understood it had to be done; however, the 1998 World Cup winner believes the treatment he is subjected to by the fans of the club is due to the broken relationship between the Qatari owners and the supporters.
Henry submits that the Argentine cannot be the problem of a football club, citing his track record as one who proffers solutions instead.

PSG to sign Manchester City star as Lionel Messi's replacement
PSG have set their eyes on Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva as a possible replacement for Lionel Messi.
“Nobody is above the rules. I’ve you’ve missed a training session—and it can happen to anyone—fair enough, you’re punished; there’s no issue there,” he said, per GFFN.
“But the real fracture is between the supporters and the Qatari era. Sometimes Messi’s been the target; sometimes it’s Neymar; sometimes it’s been Mbappé who was booed too. For me, Messi is not the problem. I’ve played with him, and he’s never been a problem; he was always a solution.
