Paris Saint-Germain is not a proper football club and will not win the Champions League even with Lionel Messi on his team.

This is according to former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan, who said the French club is not on the same level as Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United, and is destroying football with their fortunes.

Messi was revealed as a PSG player earlier this week

Messi recently completed his surprise move to the Ligue 1 team after ending his legendary 21-year career at Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain now has a star-studded squad that coach Mauricio Pochettino must steer to achieve success this season, under enormous external pressure from fans and pundits across Europe.

And Jordan insists that, unlike Liverpool and Man United, PSG is not a “proper” club.

He says the massive spending made by the French side since their acquisition of Qatar is not good for the game.

“I don’t think PSG, no matter how great they are about navigating financial fair play and what their football project looks like, they are not a proper club for football,” White and Jordan hosts said on TalkSPORT.

“The right football club is Manchester United, Liverpool in the world and Manchester City are starting to become so…

“But PSG for me is the mouth ulcer on the football side.”

During his time at Barcelona, ​​Messi solidified himself as one of the best footballers of all time.

He scored 474 goals in 520 La Liga matches, winning ten league titles, seven Copa del Rey titles, and four Champions League titles.

The 34-year-old also won six Golden Balls during his time in Spain.

Messi is scheduled to play alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar next season

Jordan believes that Messi could start repeating these numbers when he plays alongside his former Barcelona teammate Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, the World Cup winner next season.

But he explained that the reason for this was that the quality of football in Ligue 1 was different from that of La Liga or the English Premier League.

The candid talkSPORT expert added: “Is it a legitimate and proven football deal in good faith?

“Partly because, in our minds, Lionel Messi is still that 26-year-old superstar.

“But let’s see. I think it will translate into French football because the French league, compared to the English Premier League, is nonsense and I don’t care who offends it.

“It’s not in the same quality zip code.

“So, by going to the Ligue 1, he will probably continue to perform, but will he win the Champions League? I bet he won’t.”
