Thierry Henry has defended Lionel Messi's spell at Paris Saint-Germain, claiming he couldn't be "the boss" alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.Henry defends ex-Barcelona team-mateMessi failed to live up to expectations during his two-year spell at PSG, and left the club upon the expiration of his contract in June before joining Inter Miami in MLS.
towards the end of his time in France, saying the environment at the Ligue 1 side made it difficult for him to thrive, especially as he had to share the spotlight with Mbappe and Neymar.In an interview with former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen, Henry was asked if he was disappointed with Messi's stint in Paris - which yielded three trophies.: "No, I'll say why.

Henry retorted: "I can't say that. For what? Because it happened to me. When he played with the Argentina team, a structure. There are not three Messis, just him. You put him in a framework where he alone is the boss [and he will shine]. But at some point, I'll tell you something: I left Arsenal. This is something super important.
